The Growing Legal Framework Around Corporate Whistleblowing Protections




Vrinda Bhardwaj & Anshika Singh, O.P. Jindal Global University


ABSTRACT


The importance of a whistleblower is something that should never be overlooked. Whistleblowing forms the basis of real change in a corporation’s regulatory and compliance practice. This paper aims to explore the historical evolution of whistleblowing cases and the advent of protections that came up in different jurisdictions namely, the US, India, and the UK. Exploring legislative measures such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Dodd-Frank Act, and the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, the paper will look at the expanding legal landscape, evaluating the effectiveness while keeping in mind the pre-established safeguards present, judicial decisions and suggest potential reforms to strengthen protections around whistleblowing globally.
