The SEC’s whistle-blower program was established in the wake of the financial crisis.
What the whistle-blower provisions did was create financial incentives for whistle-blowers who provide the SEC information about possible violations of federal securities laws. The provisions also created a new bounty program under which whistle-blowers may qualify for an award of between 10% and 30% of the monetary sanctions collected by the SEC. The enhanced protections against retaliation for reporting information about possible securities violations prohibited employers from retaliating against whistle-blowers. This video reviews the Dodd-Frank whistle-blower provisions as well as the SEC whistle-blower rules.
