I shared this resource back in February, but with fraud and government spending dominating the headlines, now seems like a good time to revisit it. No better way to launch the “Commentary” section of my new website.
Fraud is just one piece of the federal government’s complex anti-corruption ecosystem. This resource page walks through the framework: transparency, oversight, ethics restrictions, conflicts of interest, disclosure requirements, whistleblower protections, corruption and collusion statutes, suspension and debarment, and contractor compliance.
If you prefer to jump straight to the fraud content, this section places the term in context.
And for anyone interested in spending New Year’s Eve reading about fraud allegations directed toward a different government program, here is my recent testimony for the Senate Committee on Small Business & Entrepreneurship’s hearing: “Running Government Like a Small Business: Cut Waste, Crush Fraud.”
To the GW Law students enrolled in my “Anti-Corruption & Compliance” class this spring, get ready. It is going to be an interesting semester.
To everyone else: Happy New Year!
