This course explores the value of fraud and abuse laws from a policy perspective.

Topics covered include compliance fundamentals, the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the False Claims Act, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other international anti-bribery legislation, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), and enforcement mechanisms. Online discussions and practical exercises allow students to apply newly-acquired knowledge to real-world situations. Students will complete the fraud and abuse class with a comprehensive understanding of life science companies’ obligations under laws designed to detect and respond to fraud, waste, and abuse.
