The US Securities and Exchange Commission is awarding more than $37 million to a whistleblower whose information contributed to a successful SEC enforcement action.

The SEC said the whistleblower was the initial source of a company’s internal investigation, and the source for investigations by the commission and another agency. In line with the SEC’s policy, the regulator didn’t disclose details about the case.
