Set A Rogue To Catch A Rogue: Understanding the Federal Civil False Claims Act
Counsel, Ethics, Management, Finance, Internal Audit
The Government’s primary anti-fraud statute, the federal False Claims Act, provides for significant damages and penalties for companies (and individuals) submitting false claims to the Government. Unlike criminal statutes, which require a showing of intent, the FCA requires only a showing of “recklessness” in order to establish liability. The FCA also includes a qui tam provision, which provides a significant financial reward to whistleblowers who bring suit under the Act. In 2017, the Government collected damages and penalties of $3.7 billion under the Act. Since 1986, the Government collected a whopping $56 billion under the Act. This CLE program provides an overview of the FCA, its elements, defenses to the Act, and steps companies can take to protect against – or defend against – state and federal FCA lawsuits.
