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. 606 $aCorporation law 606 $aCorporate governance 606 $aCriminal law 606 $aSocial responsibility of business 606 $aCommon Company Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R12080 606 $aCorporate Governance$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/511020 606 $aCriminal Law and Criminal Procedure Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R13006 606 $aCorporate Social Responsibility$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/526010 615 0$aCorporation law. 615 0$aCorporate governance. 615 0$aCriminal law. 615 0$aSocial responsibility of business. 615 14$aCommon Company Law. 615 24$aCorporate Governance. 615 24$aCriminal Law and Criminal Procedure Law. 615 24$aCorporate Social Responsibility. 676 $a346.066 702 $aLombard$b Sulette$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBrand$b Vivienne$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aAustin$b Janet$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910373888603321 996 $aCorporate Whistleblowing Regulation$91756683 997 $aUNINA
