We are re-imagining this crucial forum from a live in-person event to an interactive virtual format, designed to bring clarity to industries most impacted by the expanding reach of the False Claims Act, including healthcare, pharmaceutical, defense, aerospace, tech & communication and financial services.
The DOJ announced in the fall of 2020 that the Civil Division will
“energetically use every enforcement tool available to prevent wrongdoers from exploiting the COVID-19 crisis.”
ACI’s 8th Annual Advanced Forum on False Claims and Qui Tam Enforcement will address the underlying controversies and challenges posed by these questions:
- What will total recoveries amount to at the end of Fiscal ’20?
- What can we expect for Fiscal ’21?
- Where will government enforcement priorities lie?
- Which industries are at greatest risk?
- What can you do now to prepare for the next wave of FCA enforcement and protect your client’s interests?
Join us for in-depth discussions and analysis of the latest guidance, initiatives and enforcement statistics. This year’s forum will feature a faculty of government speakers, including:

Brian D. Miller
