Henry "Hank" Shea, professor of law at St. Thomas University and former federal prosecutor, talks with Kirk O. Hanson, executive director of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, about whistleblowing. Under Dodd-Frank, whistleblowers are eligible for potentially large cash bounties. Shea argues that this provision can serve as a wake-up call for companies to ask, "Are we doing everything possible to have our people come to us first?" Organizations, Shea says, should welcome the type of person who asks, "Why are we doing it this way? Is this the fairest way to serve our customers?"
