Designated Officer

As defined by the Public Interest Disclosure (Whistleblower Protection) Act, a designated officer is a senior official designated by each chief officer to manage and investigate disclosures under the Public Interest Disclosure (Whistleblower Protection) Act and Regulations. There are no restrictions on who the chief officer can appoint to this position. The designated officer could be a senior employee from inside the entity or could be an independent investigator from outside the entity. Clarium Fraud and Compliance is ideally placed to serve as designated officer for Alberta entities that must comply with the Public Interest Disclosure (Whistleblower Protection) Act and Regulations .
