– if he/she had reasonable grounds to believe that the information reported or publicly disclosed about the irregularities was true at the time of the report or disclosure
– if the reported or publicly disclosed information on irregularities falls within the scope of the Act, and
– if he/she has filed a report in accordance with the provisions of the Act via the system of internal or external reporting of irregularities or has publicly disclosed the irregularity.
