“In August, we launched the Criminal Division’s Corporate Whistleblower Awards Pilot Program to fill gaps in existing whistleblower programs and encourage individuals to come forward with information. To date, we’ve received approximately 250 unique submissions…  I’m especially excited that we’ve seen reports about potential FCPA violations in non-issuer cases, a gap in other agencies’ whistleblower programs that we have filled. We are also seeing tips related to corruption in matters where we are already open, and these tips are adding to the information we have from other sources. This should make clear that effective internal reporting structures and whistleblower programs are critical for all companies, not just issuers.”
