Auditors, evaluators, special agents, and investigators have a responsibility to be aware of the risks, vulnerabilities, and indicators of fraud in the administration of government programs, resources, grants and contracts. Recent spending programs such as the CARES Act, Paycheck Protection Program, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs ACT (IIJA) are distributing billions in funds that are flowing quickly through the federal government, to state and local governments, NGOs, individuals and contractors with limited control and monitoring. Along with defense, healthcare and entitlement programs, government spending creates significant opportunities for waste, fraud, and abuse. Those charged with following the money, assessing the risks and indicators of fraud will need the specialized tools and knowledge of what, where and how to look for possible fraud.
Participants should expect to compete the program within two (2) years.
