The Fraud Section plays a unique and essential role in the Department's fight
against sophisticated economic crime. The Section is a front-line litigating
unit that acts as a rapid response team, investigating and prosecuting
complex white collar crime cases throughout the country. The Section is
uniquely qualified to act in that capacity, based on its vast experience
with sophisticated fraud schemes; its expertise in managing complex and
multi-district litigation; and its ability to deploy resources effectively
to address law enforcement priorities and respond to geographically shifting
crime problems. These capabilities are an essential complement to the
efforts of the United States Attorneys' Offices to combat white-collar
crime.
The Fraud Section also plays a critical role in the development of Department policy. The
Section implements enforcement initiatives and advises the Department
leadership on such matters as legislation, crime prevention, and public
education. The Section frequently coordinates interagency and multi-district
investigations and international enforcement efforts. The Section assists
prosecutors, regulators, law enforcement and the private sector by providing
training, advice and other assistance. The Section, often in a leadership
capacity, participates in numerous national and regional working groups.
To fulfill its mission, the Fraud Section seeks to build and enhance its most valuable
resources by maximizing opportunities for its dedicated professionals.
By providing direct supervision, training and mentoring for its attorneys
and other professionals, the Section seeks effectively to develop the
knowledge, skills and judgment required to fulfill its unique and important
mission.
