The text contains over 90 federal statutes and regulations, including the Sarbanes-Oxley corporate whistleblower law, the False Claims Act, and the Whistleblower Protection Act.
Whistleblower Law: A Guide to Legal Protections for Corporate Employees is the first book to explain and analyze the impact and implications of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, especially as it pertains to the rights of whistleblowers--those who dare to come forward with evidence of financial fraud.
Qui Tam and False Claim Acts: Federal, State and Municipal Qui Tam Laws,

portion of the monies recovered.
