Every
year, Federal, State and Local Governments award billions of dollars
in grants and contracts. Not all fraud involves the theft of
assets, rather the misuse and misappropriation of assets. The
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) alone has added
billions more to these totals. Also complicating the matter is the
complex nature of this type of fraud.
This
session will focus on the ways in which grants and contracts are
misapplied or misused, types of asset mismanagement and what can be
done to identify and prevent these types of fraud.
Included will be case studies of grant fraud including those at
institutions of higher education.
