In my organization interviews are conducted by the same people who do the workforce planning. Results are aggregated into themes that are published annually. This helps us with recruiting, determining benefits and with HRD. If something specific comes up, the information is shared with appropriate parties.

No. It'd certainly be a sorry branch manager who didn't know why any of his/her employees was leaving. Not only that, if the reason revealed that some illegal behavior was going on, the branch/district manager might well be inclined to hide that information - which could easily be a total disaster in the case of sexual harrassment/discrimination charges that might follow.
HR is the appropriate point to receive and evaluate exit interviews.

More important than who SHOULD be doing exit interviews is who SHOULDN'T. Certainly, the top boss shouldn't, employees may not open up. The immediate supervisor will hide anything that might harm his own image or ways of working. The right person will be someone from HR. What I did in an earlier job was have a predtermined panel (not necessarily from the same department)who would be present with me when I did exits. The findings would be summarized periodically to determine priority areas.

Daily Q&A
How to Address Flagging Motivation?
How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
