Dodd-Frank was signed into law by President Obama on July 21,
2010, giving whistleblowers a way to come forward and report on
companies. But what motivates them to come forward? Is it simply
money, or is it out of a genuine concern for a company to address
an issue internally? In part two of our three-part series on
developing an effective whistleblower program, Foley Partner
Courtney Worcester talks about motivation, as well as what a
company can do to ensure confidentiality, avoid retaliation
allegations, and ensure that the matter is handled
appropriately.
