On November 8, 2010, Davis Polk hosted a webcast to discuss the whistleblower bounty provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and the rule proposal released by the Securities and Exchange Commission earlier in the month. “The SEC's New Dodd-Frank Whistleblower Proposals: What You Need to Know” was presented by Davis Polk partners Linda Thomsen, Scott Muller, Martine Beamon and William Kelly, who addressed topics including the anticipated flood of claims, the emergence of a whistleblower “industry” and how the SEC and CFTC will respond; how the bounty program will reshape internal investigations and “voluntary” disclosures to enforcement authorities; implications for internal training and communications programs; and likely focuses of the rulemaking process.
