What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A draft report on financial market conduct recommended that the South African Government consider establishing a program to reward individuals who blow the whistle on alleged corruption in the financial sphere. This recommendation was part of the 2018 Financial Markets Review Committee report. The committee, which was established by the National Treasury, the South African Reserve Bank, and the Financial Sector Conduct Authority, was tasked with developing recommendations to reinforce conduct standards in wholesale financial markets.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The review was conducted in response to international financial misconduct scandals, indicating a need to strengthen financial integrity in South Africa. Although the Protected Disclosures Act provides protection for disclosures made in good faith, the report suggested that additional measures, such as a reward program, were necessary.
