Leyes de Denunciantes en Estados Unidos: Protecciones y Cómo Denunciar

Actualizaciones

Se corrigió la sección de la Ley de Reclamos Falsos para citar el 31 U.S.C. § 3730 en el derecho qui tam, la participación del relator y el remedio contra represalias, y se aclaró que Dodd-Frank ofrece remedios más sólidos que Sarbanes-Oxley pero solo protege a los denunciantes que reportan a la SEC, no a los empleados que reportan únicamente de forma interna.
