The SEC Whistleblower Program offers financial rewards and protection to individuals who report violations of securities laws, including insider trading, accounting fraud, and market manipulation. Whistleblowers may receive a percentage of any fines or penalties imposed on violators, providing strong incentives to expose fraud. The program also ensures confidentiality and protects whistleblowers from retaliation, helping maintain integrity in financial markets.

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has specific criteria for a whistleblower case to qualify under its programs:

• Original Information: The information provided must be new and not already known to the SEC.
• Violation of Securities Laws: The reported misconduct must involve breaches of federal securities laws, such as insider trading, market manipulation, or misrepresentation of financial data.
• Significant Impact: The information must lead to a successful enforcement action resulting in sanctions exceeding $1 million.
