It includes in particular arguments in favour of and against the adoption of financial incentive schemes for whistleblowers, as well as the potential implications of adopting such schemes. This approach provides a valuable opportunity for comparison from a law reform perspective. The book brings together authors from various jurisdictions – Canada, Australia, and the USA – who, through their exposure to this area of law, be it as practitioners, regulators, or academics, offer valuable and interesting insights on the emerging and topical area of corporate whistleblowing generally, and whistleblowing rewards in particular. These three jurisdictions were selected on the basis of their reform-oriented stance on corporate whistleblowing and/or implementation of financial incentives for whistleblowing, creating an opportunity to assess contemporary regulatory structures and in particular how incentives measures could interact with corporate whistleblowing regulatory frameworks, and how they could contribute to improved governance. The reasons for the rejection of the notion of financial incentives in the United Kingdom are also reviewed, in order to provide a comparative overview. The book provides useful guidance for those who may be affected by the implementation of corporate whistleblowing schemes, including for reward, whether as regulators, practitioners, company directors, or whistle blowers.Corporation lawCorporate governanceCriminal lawSocial responsibility of businessCommon Company Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R12080Corporate Governancehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/511020Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R13006Corporate Social Responsibilityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/526010Corporation law.Corporate governance.Criminal law.Social responsibility of business.Common Company Law.Corporate Governance.Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure Law.Corporate Social Responsibility.346.066Lombard Suletteedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBrand Vivienneedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtAustin Janetedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910373888603321Corporate Whistleblowing Regulation1756683UNINA
