Fraud Prevention - Virtual Classroom

Preventing fraud is a responsibility that is vital to the ongoing health of a company and the services provided to individuals. Too often fraud occurs because of lack of systems, oversight, and accountability. As a Medicaid provider, you are required to have systems and processes in place to prevent fraud and respond to allegations of fraud. But what does fraud have to do with the work of a Designated Manager (DM) and Public Funds Compliance Officer (PFCO)? Each agency is required to have both a DM and a PFCO - both these positions are responsible for ensuring fraud prevention.

Course objectives:

• Learn the different types of monies that are often involved in fraud
• Define fraud and explore examples of fraud on a staff, management, and company level
• Determine preventative measures and systems (including evaluation techniques) that may be implemented to avoid fraud
• Identify the role of the PFCO and requirements of the Anti-Fraud Policy and staff training
• Understand what reactive measures must be taken should there be allegations of fraud at the agency

This session would benefit anyone at the agency who is responsible for financial information of the individuals as well as the company.
