As UAE is increasingly characterized as an economical hub, economic security is regarded as one of the most important issues in an ever-growing economic hub of the middle east. An aspect is appreciated increasingly about the whistleblowing where the employees play a critical role with respect to the wrongdoings in the company. It even helps in raising the confidence in the market along with the effort to popularize the concept of good corporate governance.

What is meant by the whistleblowing is the act of unveiling the illegal practices by the employees or the ex-employees that are carried on within the organization. The concept of whistleblowing is covered under the penal code of the UAE which includes a requisite whereby all the individual are required to report any type of criminal activity.
