Seyfarth Government Contracts Attorneys to Present Government Contract Compliance Virtual Training for Federal Publications Seminars

On August 15, Seyfarth attorneys Teddie Arnold, Joe Dyer, Stephanie Magnell, Erica Bakies, and Bret Marfut are presenting a 1-day virtual session on Government Contract Compliance as part of the Federal Publications Seminars’ Training Academy.

It is no secret that the government has ramped up spending to keep the economy afloat during the current pandemic. As the deficit swells and budget shortfalls grow, agencies will surely be taking a “do more with less approach” in the years to come. As part of the “more,” agencies are taking steps to increase their efforts to ferret out suspected fraud and abuse. Thus, a thorough understanding of the rules and regulations that control the award and performance integrity and transparency of the process, continues to be critical for all government contractors. This course provides assistance to individuals and organizations in ensuring compliance with federal laws and regulations.

This panel will allow attendees to:

• Gain insights and knowledge on the relevant statutory offenses and penalties, including the False Claims Act and False Statements statute
• Develop an understanding of how to set up and audit your compliance programs
• Develop an understanding of rules governing interactions between government and contractor personnel
• Understand the compliance and meaning of numerous discrete topics, including defective pricing, international sales, contract claims, and the Buy American Act
