whistleblower rewards
Whistleblower rewards are payments given to individuals who report illegal or unethical activities within an organization, particularly government-related misconduct. When their information leads to successful enforcement actions, such as fines or recoveries of funds, the whistleblower often receives a percentage of the collected amount. These rewards incentivize people to come forward with insider knowledge that can help uncover violations like fraud or corruption, ultimately aiding regulatory agencies in protecting public interests while compensating those willing to speak up.
