FWA

Fraud, Waste, and Abuse refers to improper activities ranging from criminal conduct to inefficient resource use in government programs. FWA prevention and detection are priorities for government agencies and require contractor vigilance and reporting.

Contractors must maintain FWA prevention programs and report suspected violations. Understanding FWA risks helps contractors develop compliant operations. FWA violations can result in False Claims Act liability, criminal prosecution, contract termination, and debarment.
