A Good Year for Whistleblowers

As we begin 2025, it is a good moment to take a look back at a year that has been very good for whistleblowers. In March, DOJ officials announced their intention to launch a whistleblower rewards program, similar to the SEC’s long-standing – and lucrative – program. Less than six months later, the Whistleblower Awards Pilot Program went live. In the interim, the DOJ also introduced a program to encourage whistleblowers who might have been involved in wrongdoing by offering incentives to come forward in exchange for a non-prosecution agreement. Together, these developments, along with a few other policy changes and tweaks, have made whistleblowing – and the pressure it puts on companies – one of the hottest topics of 2024. This retrospective features some of our most popular articles that touch on whistleblowing. The Anti-Corruption Report will resume its regular publication schedule on January 15, 2025. Happy New Year!
