SUMMARY:Qui Tam Section: [VIRTUAL] Forensic Accounting Across the FCA Lifecycle
DESCRIPTION:**Program hosted in (ET) Time Zone**\n\n\n\nSuccess in a False Claims Act matter—whether you define that as a government\, relator\, or defense verdict—can turn on whether complex financial data can be transformed into clear\, credible proof—and whether you can do so early enough to drive sound strategic decisions. From initial relator disclosures through DOJ intervention decisions\, litigation\, and resolution\, forensic accounting can play a critical role in shaping FCA cases. This program examines how forensic accountants support FCA matters across the full lifecycle of a qui tam case. The panel will discuss how financial analysis helps test insider allegations\, identify and map alleged schemes\, frame damages at an early stage\, distinguish suspicious activity from actionable conduct\, and translate large\, commingled\, or high volume datasets into defensible evidence. The discussion will highlight how forensic accounting can inform decision making for relators and their counsel\, support efficient government investigation and intervention analysis\, and enable defendants to assess exposure\, challenge assumptions\, and value cases earlier and more realistically. Panelists will address best practices and common pitfalls at each stage\, from prefiling to trial\, using real-world FCA contexts such as healthcare billing\, government contracting\, grant programs\, alleged kickbacks\, and cases driven by systemic rather than isolated alleged misconduct. The program will conclude with practical takeaways for each stakeholder group on how early financial discipline and rigorous methodology can strengthen outcomes\, reduce risk\, and improve resolution strategies in FCA litigation. \nRegister Today!\nPresented by the FBA Qui Tam Section \n\nPresenters\nMODERATOR \n \nJulie K.

SUMMARY:Qui Tam Section: [VIRTUAL] Ethical & Practical Insights from Former FCA Prosecutors in Private Practice
DESCRIPTION:**Program hosted in (ET) Time Zone**\n\n\n\nJoin the FBA’s Qui Tam Section for a timely and practical discussion with a panel of former government attorneys who have since moved to the private sector. The panelists—all attorneys who recently went in-house or joined the relator’s or defense bar—will share insights from their times in government service (and since then) that will be useful to lawyers who have recently left DOJ or a USAO\, as well as to practitioners who seek a peek behind the curtain as they advise clients on FCA matters. The conversation will include a discussion of how recent government departees can navigate conflicts\, confidentiality obligations\, matter restrictions\, and client or firm expectations. The discussion also will address the practical opportunities and challenges that come with entering private practice after government service\, including how former DOJ and USAO attorneys are viewed by (and can interact most effectively with) clients\, relators’ counsel\, defense counsel\, and the government. Throughout\, the panelists will share practical strategies for engaging most productively with government counsel given their past experience and will discuss how lawyers without prior government experience have teamed up with former DOJ/USAO attorneys to provide clients with enhanced representation. \nRegister Today!\nPresented by the FBA Qui Tam Section \n\nPresenters\nMODERATOR \n\nAmy D.
