Abstract:
Recent enforcement actions demonstrate an increasing reliance on whistleblowers by federal regulators and law enforcement. Therefore, it is more likely than ever that a company will have to face whistleblower complaints, and more critical than ever that companies do so effectively. This article outlines best practices for dealing with whistleblowers and encouraging internal reporting, as well as how to steer clear of the common mistakes companies make when a whistleblower complaint arises.Keywords: Encouraging Internal Reporting; Voluntary Self-Disclosure; Dangers of Retaliation and “Pretaliation”
