Planned Corrective Action Plan:
The Organization is committed to combatting fraud by creating an organizational culture and structure
conducive to focusing on control activities, fraud-awareness initiatives, reporting mechanisms and
employee integrity activities including:Revise programmatic and departmental approval authority-related guidelines designed to counter
the previously encountered fraud schemes.
• Maximize the functionality of the existing client software systems (e.g., NewGen and Fastrack) to
minimize the dependency on external documents.
• Use multiple methods to reinforce key antifraud messages through education and training on an
ongoing basis to increase managers’ and employees’ awareness of potential fraud schemes.
• Provide a hotline and other options for potential reporters of fraud to communicate and ensure
that the Organization’s stakeholders (e.g., employees, vendors, program beneficiaries, and the
public) are aware of the Organization’s access points to report potential fraud.
• Implement mandatory virtual conflict of interest trainings.
• Develop a board-approved policy regarding the Organization’s employees receiving services.
• Revise the Conflict-of-Interest Policy in the Employee Handbook to serve as a coaching guide that
clearly conveys that anyone in the Organization may develop a conflict of interest, whether they are
entry-level or a member of the leadership team.
