This year the SEC and CFTC have issued record whistleblower awards and are experiencing an increase in whistleblower disclosures. And in 2018, the Supreme Court issued an opinion construing the Dodd-Frank Act’s anti-retaliation provision that will likely have a significant impact on corporate compliance programs. In addition, the SEC recently issued proposed amendments to the rules governing its whistleblower program. Join this webinar to hear from the Directors of the SEC and CFTC whistleblower offices and leading practitioners about new developments in whistleblower incentives and protections.
Educational Objectives:
New developments at the SEC and CFTC Whistleblower Offices
Impact of record awards to whistleblowers in 2018
SEC and CFTC prohibitions against “gag clauses” in employment policies and agreements
Potential impact of Supreme Court’s Digital Realty decision on corporate compliance programs
