Noller Quoted on SEC Whistleblower Deadlines

Foley Partner Lisa Noller was quoted in an article that appeared in CFO on August 24, 2011 titled “Whistle-blower Rules Give Companies Less Time to React.” Noller discusses a new SEC whistleblower program which creates a shortened deadline for companies to complete internal investigations that are prompted by employee tips. She states that adhering to a tighter time frame can help companies spin allegations in a positive manner, adding that proactive compliance may reduce the likelihood that regulators will broaden their investigation.
