One of the major responsibilities of the Inspectors General is to prevent fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement of Recovery-related funds.  To ensure that federal, state, and local employees, as well as contractors, private entities, and award recipients are aware of the legal and administrative requirements in certain Recovery programs, the Offices of Inspectors General offer training that addresses a broad range of Recovery-related issues, including:

  • Recovery Act requirements in relation to fraud, waste, and abuse
  • Requirements for specific Recovery programs
  • What is fraud and how to prevent it
  •  When and how to report fraud
  • How to manage grant and contract programs to meet legal and administrative requirements
