The Year of the False Claims Act? Why the FCA Will Loom Large in 2021

The Department of Justice (DOJ) recently announced that it recovered only $2.2 billion under the False Claims Act (FCA) in fiscal year 2020 – the lowest of any year in the past decade. But with a new administration, the introduction of new laws, and trillions in new federal spending to support the economy – there is little doubt that 2021 will produce a significant increase in procurement fraud enforcement across the Nation.

How might this impact your company? Please join our experienced panelists – Bill Walter and Gary McDonald, leaders of DHG's GovCon Advisory Practice, and Jason Workmaster and Alex Sarria, leaders of Miller & Chevalier government contracts practice, as they discuss a confluence of factors that could make 2021 "The Year of the FCA":

• 2020 laws create fertile ground for 2021 FCA enforcement
• Increased federal spending leading to increased oversight
• A new administration focused on FCA recoveries
• New and more dynamic whistleblower threats
