The increased visibility of whistleblower programs has been one of the biggest developments in government investigations practice over the last decade. The SEC, CFTC, and DOJ all provide robust incentives whistleblowers to reported perceived misconduct, with recent awards reaching eight figures. This program will discuss how companies can be best prepared to respond to potential whistleblower activity, including by providing practical tips for pressure-testing an internal reporting system and evaluating the effectiveness of that system, as well as staying compliant with anti-retaliation laws and related legal-ethics concerns.
