Jane Norberg, who was named director of the SEC whistleblower office in September, said Wednesday that the agency’s interpretation of anti-retaliation protections should be favored by companies for making employees more comfortable reporting potential misconduct internally. If the agency’s more expansive view of anti-retaliation protections were scaled back, she said, “then the very first time that companies hear about a securities violation may be when the SEC knocks on their door instead of [through] an internal whistleblower.”
