If your business submits any type of “claim” to the Federal government, you should already know that the False Claims Act allows the government to assess substantial fines and penalties for a vast range of “fraudulent” activity. However, recent healthcare legislation has significantly increased the ability of whistleblowers to pursue these cases. When these changes are viewed together with the IRS Tax Whistleblower Program and the SEC Whistleblower Program, it is clear why whistleblower lawsuits are a growing concern for a wide variety of businesses today.
We invite you to register for the Missouri Bar CLE sponsored webinar: False Claims Act Whistleblowers in the Year 2011. Along with a presentation on developments under the False Claims Act, the program will discuss recent developments in the Tax Whistleblower Program and the SEC Whistleblower Program.
