Destigmatizing Whistle-Blowers: The SEC’s Office of the Whistleblower 10 Years In – Best Practices for Companies in a Brave New World

The passage of Dodd-Frank represented a major overhaul of U.S. financial regulations. Among the Act’s most notable achievements were the creation of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Office of the Whistleblower and the SEC Whistleblower Program. In its short, 10-year history, the SEC Whistleblower Reward Program has been extraordinarily successful in enabling the SEC to root out securities fraud and protect investors. Since the inception of the SEC Whistleblower Program, the SEC has paid more than $900 million in awards to whistleblowers resulting in more than $3.5 billion in financial remedies. According to the SEC Whistleblower Program’s 2020 Annual Report, the SEC is tracking over 1,100 matters in which a whistleblower’s tip has caused a Matter Under Inquiry or investigation to open.

Karen Moore: Slide Door Moments to a Career in Compliance


Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
Karen Moore came highly recommended to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, including by one of her very own team members.  There’s not much better a signal than that that someone is a strong and well respected leader.
In this episode Karen and Mary talk about what brought Karen such a great degree of success in her career, including the seemingly inconsequential decision she made in high school to accessorize herself to look cool which led to the international adventures in Compliance Karen has had.  The conversation canvasses an array of subjects from there including Karen’s learnings as an adjunct professor, speculation about the future of data privacy/protection law in the United States (yes, we’re doing futurist predictions today), and a lesson learned the hard way.
The Great Women in Compliance Podcast is proudly featured on the Compliance Podcast Network and sponsored by Corporate Compliance Insights.  If you enjoyed this episode please subscribe to the podcast and rate it on your podcast player to help other compliance professionals find it.  Want to hear more from us?  We have a book, “Sending the Elevator Back Down: What We’ve Learned from Great Women in Compliance” (CCI Press, 2020).

Compliance Into the Weeds

Financial Crimes Compliance Costs


Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. This week Matt and Tom take a deep dive into the recent report from LexisNexis Risk Solutions about the costs of financial crimes compliance and its implications for ABC compliance professionals. Some of the issues we consider are:

  • What costs have gone up?
  • Why have the costs for financial crimes compliance increased?
  • What areas are the costs centered?
  • Did the costs increase due to the pandemic?
  • What does this mean for other compliance disciplines going forward?
