What Is Whistleblowing?
In Legal Dictionary whistleblowing is defined as, “the disclosure by a person, usually an employee in a government agency or private enterprise, to the public or to those in authority, of:
- Mismanagement
- Corruption
- Illegality
- Or some other wrongdoing
In other words, a whistleblower is an individual who exposes an entity’s wrongdoing. The legal process involving whistleblower claims is also referred to as “qui tam.”
Whistleblowers who have uncovered wrongdoing and are willing to expose it can sue on behalf of the government. Qui tam laws like the False Claims Act (FCA) offer financial rewards to successful whistleblowers. If they win the lawsuit, they are allowed to share in the proceeds of any successful litigation or settlement with the federal government.
