Defense Contractor Fraud

Fraud committed by defense contractors is one of the largest and most significant areas of fraudulent activity that is addressed by the False Claims Act. The common methods in which defense contractors have defrauded the government include the following:

• Falsifying charges or lying about products or services delivered;
• Use of substandard materials and product substitution;
• Fraudulent cost allocation;
• Failure to deliver a product that complies with contract specifications;
• Falsifying time entries;
