Yesterday, the Christian Science Monitor released a story about the rewards available to corporate whistleblowers under the Dodd-Frank Act. Correspondent G. Jeffrey MacDonald writes that, "Whistle-blowing is about to get more profitable." He quotes Stephen M. Kohn, Executive Director of the National Whistleblowers Center (NWC). Kohn explains that whistleblowers need to know that compensation is waiting because they’ll probably never work again in their field. A reward "moves somebody from a concern to actually taking the risk," Kohn says. Ann Buchholtz, a research director at the Institute for Ethical Leadership at Rutgers Business School in Newark, New Jersey, told MacDonald that. "if we really want these problems brought to light, we can’t put obstacles in the way of whistle-blowers."
