Executive Forum on
False Claims and Qui Tam Enforcement
January 27-28, 2014
Strategic Insights for Reducing Risk
and Legal Exposure amid the Expanding Reach of the False Claims Act
ACI presents the inaugural
Executive Forum on False Claims and Qui Tam Enforcement to offers the latest
guidance on how to protect your organization from potentially huge penalties arising
from Federal and State False Claims litigation. Over $5 Billion has been recovered by
settlements relating to false claims and the reach of the False Claims Act is
widening beyond the healthcare and the defense industries. In 2012, several
large financial services institutions including Bank of America, Deutsch Bank,
Citigroup and JP Morgan were cited for false claims violations in addition to
Abbott Laboratories, GlaxoSmithKline, ATK Launch Systems, Oracle and McKesson.
Unlike other conferences
on this topic, this conference is different.
This forum will be held in New York which has been characterized as one
of the most aggressive states in enforcing state and federal False Claims
investigations. The program is designed to
provide guidance for the financial services, defense and healthcare industries;
however the boundaries' of the Act are expanding into other industries too. This
comprehensive two day forum developed for in-house counsel and chief compliance
officers as well as private practitioners will discuss practical tools for
investigating, defending and settling these cases. You will hear from companies
that have settled FCA cases and hear first-hand how they have strengthened
their compliance programs and lessons learned along the way.
Take advantage of the
opportunities to hear from the most knowledgeable and experienced experts in
this practice area and build on your
understanding of recent developments in False Claims cases, how to build a strong
compliance program and proven techniques to implement best practices to perform
internal investigations of whistleblower complaints.
The 2014 agenda has been developed to provide you with
