  Grant Fraud 101

  
  

  Session Synopsis

  In FY 25, the federal government awarded over $1.2T in grants, with over 83% going to state governments. In this session, we will discuss the primary fraud and other compliance risks in these programs and how best to prevent, detect, and investigate them.

  Presenter

  Ken Dieffenbach, CFE, Executive Director, Pandemic Response Accountability Committee
