Beyond the False Claims Act—What Else is on the Horizon?
While never the plan, noncompliance happens. In such cases, we all fear the crushing treble damages of the False Claims Act, but this is not the only issue that may be on the horizon for a contractor who finds itself out of line with the terms of its contracts. Suspension & debarment, M&A risks, poor CPARS scores, and agency-level penalties are all very real consequences that can have long-term effects on a company’s government contracting business. This session will discuss areas of exposure outside the False Claims Act that a contractor may face when something goes sideways during performance of government work.
