In recent years, the private citizen whistleblower has come to play an increasingly important role in anti-fraud public law enforcement. The Federal False Claims Act, the New York False Claims Act, and the SEC Whistleblower Program have empowered and incentivized citizens to come forward and blow the whistle on corporate fraud. With its focus on these three areas of whistleblower enforcement, an experienced faculty will provide practical guidance in its exploration of the interplay between whistleblower laws, the agencies that administer or utilize them, and the resulting synergies of public and private sector resources.
