Small Business Webinar Series: Investigations and Enforcement of Small Business Fraud
Webinar | 07.19.22, 9:00 AM EDT - 10:00 AM EDT
Small business regulations and requirements can be perilous for small businesses and large companies alike. From certifications related to small business subcontracting goals to eligibility for set-aside procurements, and much more, civil and even criminal liability looms for those who intentionally break the rules, with the False Claims Act providing treble damages that in some cases can be measured as the entire value of a contract. In this webinar we will discuss enforcement trends and pitfalls for both small and large businesses to guard against.

The federal government has identified purported ‘waste, fraud, and abuse’ in small business programs as a major focus of its current enforcement efforts. As it relates to federal procurement, we have seen audits and investigations rolled out not only of active participants in the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program but also reviews of various types of small business contracts (such as 8(a) sole source and set-aside awards, preference-based awards, and small business set-aside awards over particular values). Join Crowell & Moring as we discuss what aspects of contract performance and teaming arrangements are being scrutinized (e.g., size/status eligibility, limitations on subcontracting compliance, reasonableness of market rates, etc.) and how these considerations can impact both small government contractors holding the prime contracts under review and their subcontractors.
