Self-reporting bad news to the regulator: explaining compliance with incident disclosure rules
I am working on compliance with incident disclosure rules. In hazardous organisations, incidents ("near misses") sometimes signal a serious problem that the organisation might not be able to prevent or clearly identify. Therefore, external reporting of incidents is a regulatory obligation for private organisations in numerous domains.
However, incident disclosure is not an obligation fully complied with in numerous settings and the underpinnings of disclosure or non-disclosure remain unverified. The main goal of this project is the explanation of decisions to report, partially report, or not report at all incidents, by hazardous organisations, to public regulators.
