At the end of April, in a speech to the Corporate and Securities Law Institute at Northwestern University School of Law, Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Mary Jo White discussed the SEC’s whistleblower program. Her speech made clear that the SEC views whistleblowers as an important part of its enforcement efforts going forward, noting, “They provide an invaluable public service, and they should be supported. And we at the SEC increasingly see ourselves as the whistleblower’s advocate.”
Moreover, she affirmed the success of the program: “I am here to say that the program is a success—and we will work hard at the SEC to build on that success.”
