The SEC recently reported that FY 2015 brought a new high for whistleblower tips regarding FCPA violations. The SEC received 186 tips related to alleged FCPA violations in FY 2015, a 17% increase from the 159 such tips in FY 2014. Kara Brockmeyer, Chief of the SEC’s specialized FCPA Unit, reiterated in November 2015 that the Dodd-Frank whistleblower incentive provisions have been a “game-changer” for FCPA enforcement.
