We would like to inform you about the results of a recent investigation which may be of interest to you.
Incident
After a routine audit, a client alleged that they were fraudulently overbilled for services. Compliance investigated the matter and determined that the company on-site supervisor (the “Supervisor”) at the client’s location falsified timecards and then kept the over-payment. The Supervisor refused to cooperate with the investigation and was terminated. Law-enforcement managers were also contacted.
