FCPA Compliance Report Thomas Fox

Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest running podcast in compliance.
In this special edition of the FCPA Compliance Report, we welcome back fan favorite Mary Inman, now at her new firm, Whistleblower Partners LLP, a firm dedicated to assisting whistleblowers navigate various reward programs.
Mary joins Tom Fox to discuss what we know so far about the DOJ Whistleblower Incentive Initiative.
Mary has a positive perspective on the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) White Collar Whistleblower Program. She acknowledges the gaps in existing whistleblower reward programs across multiple agencies and sees the DOJ program as a crucial opportunity to fill these lacunae. Inman’s expertise, particularly in the SEC program, allows her to identify specific gaps, such as the lack of financial protections for whistleblowers reporting Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations involving companies not publicly listed on US exchanges.
From her perspective, the DOJ program will address serious financial crimes, including domestic corruption. Inman also anticipates that the DOJ will establish its own office of the whistleblower, mirroring similar initiatives in other agencies, hence providing both confidential and anonymous reporting avenues.

Topics Covered in This Episode:

Specialized Law Firm for Whistleblower Reward Programs

Financial Crime Reporting Enhancement Initiative

Establishing a Central Office for Whistleblowers

Championing Transparency: Grassley’s Whistleblower Advocacy

Wellness Fund Support for Whistleblowers

Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest running podcast in compliance. In this edition of the FCPA Compliance Report, Tom welcomes back Mary Inman, partner at the newly formed Whistleblower Partners LLP. They talk about the new Department of Justice (DOJ) initiative to pay a bounty to whistleblowers.
Mary Inman is a well-recognized authority in the realm of whistleblowing programs. In this episode, she focuses on DOJ whistleblower program. Her perspective on the program is cautiously optimistic, acknowledging the potential gains in encouraging whistleblowers to disclose information about financial crimes and corruption. However, she has expressed concerns about certain aspects of the program’s design, such as excluding culpable whistleblowers and limiting the type of information that can be provided.
These viewpoints stem from her extensive experience and deep understanding of the complexities involved in implementing effective whistleblower programs. Drawing from her expertise, Inman also emphasizes the need for confidentiality and anonymity for whistleblowers, similar to the SEC program, suggesting that while the DOJ program is a positive step, careful consideration and potential revisions are required to ensure its effectiveness and fairness.
Key Highlights:

Financial Crime Whistleblower Reward Initiative

Promoting Transparency Through Compliance Officer Resignations

Whistleblower Protection for Mental Well-being
