Be Careful of the “Independent” Investigation required by SOX
SOX also requires that information presented by protected whistleblowers be investigated by an “Independent” Audit Committee. While this is an excellent requirement, it is unfortunately susceptible to much abuse. If you have or are contemplating blowing the whistle on your publicly traded employer, please be mindful that the members of the company’s management team more than likely hired the “independent” audit committee members probably speak with the audit committee on a very regular basis.
MORAL OF THIS BLOG POST: If you are blowing the whistle on one of the higher ups at your publicly traded employer, chances are that your allegation and your identity will probably be known within hours. Get Help First.

Who should I get Help from? I agree what you are saying is probably true, however who can I get help from? The SEC? I called the SEC and tipped them off several times over a year ago and saw nothing happen.
Tried the hotline - nothing.
Should I call OSHA?
A Lawyer?
What is the best way to do this and not get fired or worse?
