In this case, whistleblowing is a system where the public can report various indications of fraudulent practices in both the business and public sectors. This whistleblowing system was designed as the main step for early detection and prevention of fraudulent practices in both the business and public sectors. However, the implementation of whistleblowing still requires the role of whistleblowers who report anonymously. Where the reporter gets guarantees from the recipient of the report for various fraudulent practices (fraud). This article uses a literature study approach (literature review). This article states that whistleblowing channels are very effective in detecting and preventing various fraudulent practices in all public and business sectors.","PeriodicalId":508674,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Business and Management Studies","volume":"22 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141648058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Design/Methodology/Approach: To conduct the analysis, a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods was utilized. Both primary and secondary data were gathered from women entrepreneurs in different states of Saudi Arabia. In-depth interviews were conducted with 100 female entrepreneurs involved in various small-scale business activities, such as apparel, fragrances, coffee shops, and boutiques.
