The whistleblower provisions of the United States Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act have now been in force for almost four months. Under the provisions, whistleblowers can make a windfall of between 10 per cent and 30 per cent of the monetary sanctions collected by the US Securities and Exchange Commission from offenders as a result of their information.
The SEC has issued its Annual Report on the Dodd-Frank Whistleblower Program. Issued on 15 November 2011, the Report provides an early glimpse of the whistleblower program and sets out the complaints received between 12 August 2011 – when the final rules implementing the program became effective – and 30 September 2011, the end of the fiscal year in the US.
