whistleblower reward programs

Whistleblower reward programs are initiatives designed to encourage individuals to report illegal or unethical activities within organizations. These programs typically offer financial rewards to whistleblowers who provide valuable information leading to successful investigations and enforcement actions. By protecting the identity of whistleblowers and offering monetary incentives, these programs aim to promote transparency and accountability, helping to uncover fraud, corruption, and other misconduct. They are often implemented by government agencies, like the SEC in the United States, to bolster efforts in maintaining ethical practices and safeguarding public interests.
