How to Report Someone
to the SEC

Knowing how to report SEC violations properly is key to ensuring that you benefit from legal protections, including the ability to protect yourself from retaliation and the possibility of obtaining a whistleblower award. Incorrectly submitted information may not ensure that you are protected from retaliation or eligible for a reward.
