Plans to help encourage individuals and companies to assist investigations
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the US financial regulator, announced incentives to encourage cooperation from individuals and companies in its investigations.
The initiative provides new tools to help investigators develop first-hand evidence to build the strongest possible cases, said the SEC. “The cooperation initiative is expected to result in invaluable and early assistance in identifying the scope, participants, victims and ill-gotten gains associated with fraudulent schemes.”
