EDNC Whistleblower Pilot Program

(Individual Voluntary Self-Disclosure Program)

EDNC Whistleblower Pilot Program:

To encourage early voluntary self-disclosure of criminal conduct and to promote effective enforcement of criminal laws, this Office has implemented the EDNC Whistleblower Pilot Program.  The program applies to circumstances where an individual discloses to this Office information regarding certain covered subjects identified in the policy.  These covered subjects include criminal conduct undertaken by or through public or private entities or organizations, including corporations, partnerships, non-profits, exchanges, financial institutions, investment advisers, or investment funds involving fraud or corporate control failures; intellectual property theft and related violations; or offenses affecting market integrity.  The policy also applies to disclosed  criminal conduct involving state or local bribery or fraud relating to federal, state, or local funds.  The policy does not apply to offenses involving violence.  Provided all conditions of the policy are met, this office will enter into a deferred or non-prosecution agreement with the whistleblower.

By providing clarity on the requirements and the benefits of such self-disclosure, we seek to incentivize individuals (and their counsel) to provide actionable and timely information.  That will, in turn, help us bring more misconduct to light and better protect the communities we serve.
