“Massive fraud and improper payments remain a significant challenge for governments at all levels. The threat goes far beyond individuals making false statements to get more benefits. Today, organized crime rings develop sophisticated schemes and tools and go after state and federal governments much like bank robbers – by looking for “soft” targets with little security and weak controls so they can quickly get away without being detected.
