SEC Proposed Whistleblower Program Rules

The Securities and Exchange Commission proposes amendments to its whistleblower program rules to clarify award eligibility, including payments for Deferred Prosecution Agreements and adjustments for small or large awards. The proposal also updates definitions of 'whistleblower' and 'monetary sanctions' to align with Supreme Court precedent and enhance administrative flexibility. Additionally, the Commission seeks public comment on interpretive guidance regarding 'independent analysis' and potential discretionary award mechanisms.
