Abstract

In the U.S., there are dozens of federal and state laws, as well as thousands of cases, addressing whistleblowing. It is impossible to classify these into one category because they target a wide range of industries and are structured with different goals. Some laws protect against anti-retaliation, while others offer financial incentives in exchange for cooperation in the investigation and prosecution of corporate misconduct. This last area has gained significant attention recently. The use of these “bounties” is controversial, mainly limited to the U.S., and has generated intense debate. Nevertheless, the U.S. experience with financial incentives has been successful and it does not appear that it will stop anytime soon.
