Email As part of the Dodd-Frank Act ("Dodd-Frank" or the "Act"), Congress created powerful incentives to encourage persons to report (i) potential violations of the federal securities laws to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and (ii) potential violations of the Commodity Exchange Act (the "CEA") to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC"). While the Sarbanes-Oxley Act ("SOX") encouraged up-the-ladder reporting by employees and allowed for self-policing and self-reporting by companies of potential violations, the Dodd-Frank Act’s whistleblower provisions will incentivize external reporting to the regulators that may hamper a company’s ability to self-police and self-report. https://www.cadwalader.com/resources/clients-friends-memos/the-dodd-frank-whistleblower-provisions-considerations-for-effectively-preparing-for-and-responding-to-whistleblowers
