The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 provides sweeping new legal protection for employees who report possible securities fraud, making it unlawful for companies to "discharge, demote, suspend, threaten, harass, or in any other manner discriminate against" them. This protection applies to employees of publicly traded companies, as well as certain contractors, subcontractors, and agents of such companies. The Act also establishes whistleblower hotlines and requires companies to implement procedures for handling complaints about accounting and auditing matters.
