Exciting news: I’ve made my first major discovery! While working on a project, I received a call from a whistleblower at the company I was auditing. They announced their resignation and provided me with the crucial documentation I had been seeking to clarify my findings. It appears there has been regular submission of deceptive and misleading reports to a federal agency. It really feels like I was handed a golden opportunity!
I always strive to be humble and respectful when I visit the sites I’m auditing, and I believe that kindness and professionalism have played a significant role in my success. This whistleblower reached out months after our initial interactions, feeling a sense of conscience and finding me approachable.
As a contractor, I’m uncertain whether I’ll get to continue this project and delve deeper into the findings or if the federal authorities will take it from me and assign me to something new. I suspect they may have overlooked this initially, and I’m reluctant to let it go, but ultimately, it’s not my decision.
Regardless of what happens next, I’m feeling great about this finding—it’s my first significant breakthrough!
