Quote of the Week
“For an agency with limited resources like
the SEC, it is critical to be able to leverage
the resources of people who may have first-
hand information about violations...The tips
received have been better since Dodd Frank
became law. We expect this to continue and
the rule maps out simplified procedures for
whistleblowers to provide us critical
information” - SEC Chairman, Mary Schapiro
                                                                             Photos by Denise Jones Adler
