Management accounting & control research group

Sophie Maussen and Dwight Waeye were delighted to contribute to the "Dag van de Moedige Controller" (Day of the Courageous Controller) at VU Amsterdam. Invited by Berend van der Kolk to speak on the themes of moral courage and whistleblowing, they delivered a presentation to Dutch public sector controllers on whistleblowing as a complex, multi-stage process. Their session moved beyond the initial act of whistleblowing to explore the critical stages of internal investigation and organizational follow-up. 

Besides their own presentation, Sophie and Dwight learned a lot of interesting things from the other sessions. These included Berend van der Kolk’s talk on what controllers can learn from Hannah Arendt, Marion Smit’s perspective on controllers in housing associations (woningcorporaties), and practical insights from Dineke De Jong regarding her work as a controller in the healthcare sector.
