Measure Performance Achieve Excellence

This is a title

Our Mission
We help organizations measure performance, strengthen accountability, and achieve excellence by providing trusted frameworks, tools, and methodologies that improve hotline effectiveness, reporting cultures, and organizational integrity.
Our Values

Guided by six core values: Integrity, Independence, Accountability, Excellence, Continuous Improvement, and Courage.

Founded in 2011, Hotline Reporting, L.L.C. was created to help audit, compliance, and ethics professionals implement leading practices in ethics, compliance, and fraud hotline programs. What began as a commitment to improving hotline effectiveness has evolved into the development of proprietary frameworks, methodologies, and assessment tools—including the IQREDI™ Hotline Foundation Framework—designed to help organizations strengthen trust, accountability, and organizational integrity.

The IQREDI™ Hotline Foundation Framework, associated assessment methodologies, scoring methodologies, related tools, templates, and supporting materials are proprietary intellectual property developed and owned exclusively by Hotline Reporting, L.L.C. All rights reserved.  

Organizations often struggle to determine whether their hotline program is operating effectively, trusted by stakeholders, and producing meaningful risk insights. 

A top priority of Hotline Reporting, L.L.C. was to help organizations measure, benchmark, and improve the effectiveness of their Ethics and Compliance reporting programs.

As a result, Hotline Reporting, L.L.C. developed the IQREDI™ Hotline Foundation Framework, assessment worksheets, templates and other materials to provide a structured methodology for evaluating hotline and speak-up program effectiveness, across governance, accessibility, confidentiality, case management, investigations, culture, reporting and continued improvement.

Available for purchase: September 2026 

 
The Hotline Foundation Framework package is a practical, audit-ready methodology for assessing hotline and speak-up program effectiveness and includes:
  • Framework Guide (> 40 pages)
  • Domains (12) Release Date: September 1, 2026
  • Assessment Worksheet (90 questions)
  • Evidence Request List
  • Action Plan Template
  • Framework Diagrams
 Simply having a hotline does not answer the most important questions:
  • Do employees and stakeholders know how to report concerns?
  • Are reporting options clearly communicated and easy to access?
  • Can reports be submitted anonymously or confidentially?
  • Are reported concerns routed, reviewed, documented, and resolved consistently?
  • Does leadership receive meaningful information about hotline activity and trends?
  • Is the hotline program aligned with governance, compliance, and internal control expectations?
  • Can the organization demonstrate that its reporting process is working?

A hotline should be more than a phone number or web form. It should be part of a trusted ethics, compliance, and accountability system.

The IQREDI™ Hotline Foundation Framework package can help your organization assess the strengths of your Hotline program and identify opportunities for improvement.

Many organizations have a reporting hotline, web form, email address, or other method for reporting concerns. But simply having a hotline does not answer the most important questions:  

  • Do employees and stakeholders know how to report concerns?

  • Are reporting options clearly communicated and easy to access?

  • Can reports be submitted anonymously or confidentially?

  • Are reported concerns routed, reviewed, documented, and resolved consistently?

  • Does leadership receive meaningful information about hotline activity and trends?

  • Is the hotline program aligned with governance, compliance, and internal control expectations?

  • Can the organization demonstrate that its reporting process is working?

A hotline should be more than a phone number or web form. It should be part of a trusted ethics, compliance, and accountability system.

That is where IQREDI™ helps.
