The number of whistleblower complaints is trending upwards, with rates growing exponentially worldwide. The SEC reportedly paid out approximately $564 million to whistleblowers in the 2021 fiscal year alone, and during the same period, DOJ recovered $1.6 billion from False Claims Act actions filed by whistleblowers. In this webinar, Cooley partners and representatives from leading technology companies dissect the latest whistleblower trends and where regulators from the US, EU and UK are likely to focus their attention. The panel weighs in on why implementing innovative tech-backed whistleblower programs as internal control is vital to appropriately handle complaints, identify and anticipate patterns, mitigate risk for both employees and employers, and prepare companies if they are met with regulatory inquiries.
