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.
