Join Stephen Platt, CEO and Founder of KYC360, and Stephen Kohn, Partner at Kohn, Kohn & Colapinto LLP, for an exclusive replay of their session at the KYC360 Conference, where they share expert insights into the evolution of U.S. whistleblower legislation.

A key development in recent years is the recognition by the United States government that corruption undermines much more than personal wealth or efficient markets. In 2022, the US introduced a National Strategy to Counter Corruption globally, a comprehensive initiative involving all major arms of government, including the State Department, Justice Department, Defence Department, and representatives from fifteen federal cabinet offices. Together, they undertook a systematic review of the threat corruption poses.

Their conclusion was unequivocal: establishing the fight against corruption is now considered a core United States security interest. This strategy directly links the destabilising effects of corruption, including the erosion of democratic institutions, the spread of authoritarianism and broader societal harm, along with the impact on individuals, who remain the principal victims.
