Review various types of procurement fraud and discuss indicators to recognize and prevent fraudulent activities.
Procurement fraud occurs throughout the procurement lifecycle. It can be perpetrated by any individual within the procurement and contracting community, from procurement managers to c-suite executives and can also involve government personnel. Government contractors must be aware of the common procurement fraud schemes and be able to recognize conduct indicative of procurement fraud. Failure to identify and prevent procurement fraud from occurring subjects government contractors and their employees to administrative, civil, and even criminal liability. This program will provide an overview of common government procurement fraud schemes, starting from contract formation through contract performance. We will review recent enforcement trends in well-known fraud schemes such as kickbacks, collusive bidding, and small business fraud as well as more nuanced government procurement topics such as subcontractor performance, quality assurance testing, cost accounting, and defective products. Using recent case examples from civil and criminal cases, we will explore the government enforcement lens on these issues and highlight conduct companies should be aware of as part of their compliance efforts.
