whistleblower award

A whistleblower award is a monetary reward given to individuals who report illegal or unethical activities within an organization, particularly when their information leads to the successful enforcement of laws or recovery of funds. The purpose is to encourage people to come forward with valuable information that can help the government detect fraud, corruption, or misconduct. These awards are typically a percentage of the recovered amount or fines resulting from the investigation, serving as an incentive for honesty and transparency.
