Learn how to avoid these issues instead of worrying about how to resolve them.
Participants, in this course, will learn the most common waste, fraud, and abuse issues that the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) has uncovered in the last few years. Participants will learn what policies and preventive safeguards should be in place, as well as how to identify and stop potential damaging issues in the early stages.

The OIG’s 2019 Audit Plan, describing their current focus on PHAs, will be reviewed, along with suggested policies and procedures to ensure compliance.
