Any company doing business with the government needs to be aware of the possible fraud pitfalls.

The program will be followed by a brief Q&A session.

Webinar Topics Include:
- Types of federal procurement fraud
- How the government might handle investigating and prosecuting procurement fraud
- Key federal and California state statutes, penalties and other consequences
- Why a robust compliance program is important
- Practical considerations before and during an investigation
