Solid guidance for managing whistleblower policies in light of
the new Dodd-Frank Act provisions

In July 2010, President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act that greatly expanded
whistleblower bounties in connection with violations of federal
securities laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
Discussing business protection strategies and best practices in
dealing with whistleblowers, Whistleblowers will appeal to board
members, executives, corporate compliance personnel, attorneys for
whistleblowers and defense attorneys, as well as potential employee
whistleblowers.

* Case studies of GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer and other high profile
whistleblower incidences

* Examines new Dodd-Frank incentives to whistleblowers

* Recommends best practices for corporations in light of new
whistleblowing incentives

* Explores other federal and state statutory incentives to
whistleblowing

Timely and comprehensive, Whistleblowers emphasizes the
disincentives to whistleblowing, reviewing the academic studies of
whistleblowers with the idea of developing best practices in
working with whistleblowers.
