New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/29/2021 -- Becoming a whistleblower is not an easy step for any professional. However, one of the whistleblowers in the most renowned cases of financial fraud has recently highlighted how crucial it is to protect those who are courageous enough to step forward in a situation where the rules have been broken. Sherron Watkins was an Enron executive who warned management about the fraud and created a report of Enron's use of complex off-balance sheet vehicles to try and disguise millions of dollars in losses. She has now spoken out about the importance of having confidentiality and anti-retaliation protection for whistleblowers, saying that what she did would have been much easier for her if the current protections had been in place at the time. Ms. Watkins highlighted how being labelled a whistleblower has impacted her career in the years since. She said that if current protections had been in place, she would have been able to submit her report in confidence and avoid many of the challenges that followed.
