Whistleblowers on Wall Street
Understanding the SEC Whistleblower Program

The Securities and Exchange Commission has awarded more than $100 million to whistleblowers who reported securities law violations using the Dodd-Frank whistleblower program. Two of these awards -- for $30 million and $22 million -- were awarded to whistleblowers who remain anonymous.

The SEC has also assessed multi-million dollar penalties against companies that retaliated against employees for assisting in SEC investigations.

Prominent whistleblower attorney John Howley explains how the Dodd-Frank whistleblower program works, what makes a whistleblower complaint successful, and how the SEC determines the amount of a whistleblower’s financial reward.

• the types of disclosures that support whistleblower awards
• the procedures for filing reports and claiming awards
