In the age of COVID-19\, with trillions in government aid sluicing into the U.S. economy\, the FCA is on the front lines yet again. This webinar provides a much-requested update to the two-part series on coronavirus stimulus fraud that the FBA’s Qui Tam Section presented in early May. Part III of “Fighting Fraud in a Pandemic” will cover major FCA-related developments from the past three months\, with a special focus on emerging priorities at the Department of Justice; on the mechanics of stimulus fraud schemes that have drawn most prosecutorial attention; on the specific enforcement tools now being favored by DOJ (including the return of some oldies); and on antifraud initiatives beyond the DOJ. The same distinguished panel\, drawn from the leadership of the FBA’s Qui Tam Section\, will return. If you attended the first two sessions in May\, this webinar outlines critical changes in this fast-moving area of enforcement. If you didn’t attend the first two sessions\, Part III is designed as a standalone opportunity — a deep dive into an area of law that will be a top concern for the DOJ\, and for taxpayers\, for at least the next 12 months. \nRegistration for this event is now closed. \n\nAbout the Presenters\nR.
