Description:
Special Agents, Investigators and Inspectors have a responsibility for the detection and prevention of fraud, and awareness of the risks and indicators of fraud in the administration of government programs, resources, grants and contracts; and for referring cases for possible prosecutive or administrative action. Recent spending programs such as the CARES Act, Paycheck Protection Program and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) are disbursing billions in funds that are flowing quickly through the federal government, to state and local governments, NGOs, individuals and contractors with limited controls and monitoring. Along with defense, healthcare and entitlement programs, government spending creates significant opportunities for fraud. Those charged with investigating indicators and evidence of possible fraud will need the specialized tools and knowledge of what, where and how to look for schemes and violations to build and present credible cases for action.
Graduate School USA has created a new certificate program so those responsible for detection and preventing fraud can earn a certificate of accomplishment.
Required and electives courses totaling 80 CPE needed to qualify for the Certificate.
