The Slovenian Sovereign Holding (SSH) explains that every report is studied thoroughly, and if criminal act is suspected, the documents are forwarded to competent bodies. The informants need not worry about disclosure, as they are protected.

This year most of the reports deal with banking sector, and transport activities, while last year, besides at privatisation, a number of reports was directed also at companies from energy sector, Nada Drobne Popovič, a member of the SSH managing board, explained.

"This year we have a multitude of anonymous reports dealing with the problem of certain purchasing methods within a company, certain public procurement procedures, and the processes of procurements, including risks within the process; suspicion of theft of state property has been established and noted," Drobne Popovič said.
Very concrete suspicions of criminal acts are handed over to competent bodies, and in other cases the SSH supervisory board demands actions from the company in question. It has been noticed by the SSH that reports often reflect the actual happening. In the past many of the reports dealt with the sale of companies, while presently the reports mainly deal with management of companies.
"During the period in which changes within administration or supervisory boards are made, the number of reports increase substantially. After the corporate management is settled, and stabilized, the number of reports diminishes," the member of the SSH managing board explained.
SSG: Whistlers are protected
All anonymous reports are registered, and the procedures documented, while whistlers are protected. "This year we had a case where the disclosure of an e-address from which the anonymous report had been sent was demanded. The house rules are such that an anonymous informant is always protected, and his identity is not disclosed," she clarified.
At the SSH they emphasize that an anonymous report on irregularities in state-owned companies can be sent by regular mail, or by e-mail, or addressed to their web site.
