In an article published on September 11, 2024, by The Daily Record, Veronica Nannis explains the U.S. Department of Justice’s new pilot program for corporate whistleblowers and the added incentives it provides.
“The way that I see this program is that it’s yet one more incentive for both whistleblowers and for companies,” Nannis said.” “Right now, the False Claims Act is a really good incentive for whistleblowers to bring forth information they have regarding civil fraud, and it’s meant to be a pretty good deterrent for companies to not engage in that fraud. I think this program just complements the others and it’s filling the gaps.”
Nannis adds that the pilot program incentivizes the identification and disclosure of criminal activity, which the False Claims Act does not cover.
