After much hand-wringing, the SEC adopted new whistleblower rules as required by Dodd-Frank. Many companies have begun to make changes to their whistleblower policies and procedures in response to the new rules. This panel - which includes the Chief of the SEC's new Office of the Whistleblower - will explore the latest developments in what companies are doing - and the issues that companies should consider when adopting changes to their policies and procedures.

Join these experts:

Sean McKessy, Chief, SEC's Office of the Whistleblower, Division of Enforcement
David Becker, Partner, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP; former SEC General Counsel
Allegra Lawrence-Hardy, Partner, Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP
Steve Pearlman, Partner, Seyfarth Shaw LLP
Bob Bittman, Counsel, White & Case LLP

Among the topics of this program are:

Are companies revising their whistleblower policies and procedures? Their code of ethics? If so, how?
How are companies incentivizing employees to report internally?
How does the SEC's Office of the Whistleblower work?
How are boards overseeing the implementation of the new whistleblower rules?
