Article analyzes the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) report on its 2022 whistleblowing qualitative assessment survey results and the steps it intends to take to improve whistleblower confidence.

It also is noted that ongoing economic uncertainty could contribute to an increase in whistleblowing reports filed.
