Government Claims / Overpayment Audits

The federal government has recently funded many projects under the umbrella of the Recovery Act. This was done in the belief that these projects would stimulate the economy and help end the recession. As a result, federal dollars were distributed in all directions, sometimes lacking the supervision needed to ensure compliance among recipients, sometimes lacking clear guidance about the requirements that attach.

At Nacht & Associates, P.C. , we represent small to mid-size businesses when a compliance concern arises, whether it involves responding to an employee report or addressing proactive management questions. When your company is on notice of a compliance issue, the duty is on you to act fast to investigate and repay any improper bill.

In cases involving Recovery Act fraud, discretion is of the utmost importance. Contact us to speak with one of our experienced attorneys in a confidential setting.
