Supervising Senior Investigator at the City of Austin's Office of the City Auditor

She holds a Bachelor of Law from the University of East Anglia in the U.K. and has a Master of Public Affairs from the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas in Austin.

Topic: A Case Study on Fraud in Social Services Contract
Objectives:

This presentation is a case study based on a report recently issued by the Auditor's Office in the City of Austin, Texas.  The fraud involved a false billing scheme by a nonprofit vendor that received millions of dollars across several social services contracts. The audit documentation showed the nonprofit had falsified various records to support reimbursement requests, resulting in more than $400,000 in improper payments. The nonprofit also submitted falsified performance reports under one contract. This case study provides an overview of the investigation, identifies lessons learned, and proposes best practices for preventing and investigating vendor fraud.
