SHow Can It Be Controlled? Volume I Fraud against Government programs is wide- spread. It undermines the integrity of Federal programs and makes people lose confidence in public institutions. Good systems of internal controls would pre- vent much of the fraud, or at least detect it sooner. However, controls over Federal pro- grams are often inadequate, nonexistent, or ignored. Most fraud is undetected. For those who are caught committing fraud, the chances of being prosecuted and eventually going to jail are slim. Further, agencies do not always use the administrative actions available to deter per- sons from committing fraud. The sad truth is that crime against the Government often does pay. Agency inspectors general and the Department of Justice are making progress in the fight against fraud. However, more needs to be done to prevent fraud and to punish those who com- mit fraud. ,CD S7,4 1111lI11U110 1 15135 AFMD-81-57 MAY 7, 1981 c2/6~ 7~
