In Their Own Words

Daniel P. Westman, JD’81

Prompted by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which contains potent new whistleblower protections for employees who report financial fraud and is intended to deter repetitions of Enron and the like, this edition reviews the Sarbanes-Oxley whistleblower provisions in the context of other whistleblower laws. This edition introduces the term "undersight" to describe securities law enforcement by whistleblowing corporate insiders as a supplement to the traditional securities enforcement mechanism of oversight by corporate outsiders.
