The 2010 Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act set forth some of the most significant changes to financial regulation in the U.S. since the regulatory reform that followed the Great Depression. Dodd-Frank included new protections to deter companies from retaliating against whistleblowers and to help stop corporate fraud, waste, abuse.  These reforms have quickly come under attack from corporate interests seeking to weaken and roll-back these protections.
