Managing Improper Payments
Presenter: Ylang Ylang Taitt-Thompson (Guidehouse) and Teresa Hampton (Guidehouse)
The Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019 (PIIA) was signed into law in March 2020 to decrease the amount of improper payments made by the United States (US) Government. The Congressional mandate entails Federal entities to (1) thoroughly analyze the additional risk factors that have been identified and required to be included in their improper payment risk assessments, and (2) closely evaluate new programs or programs that had significant spending changes from prior years that may have been caused by various events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the GAO announced a new framework that provides Congress and federal agencies with an overall approach to prevent and reduce improper payments in emergency assistance programs. In this session, Ylang Ylang Taitt-Thompson and Teresa Hampton will discuss what organizations should consider to enhance their risk posture in preventing improper payments and Theresa Hampton will discuss fraud risks in government benefit programs and enforcement trends. She will also share real world insights from our experience in identifying fraud and falsified documents. After this session, attendees will better understand:
- Examples of improper payment schemes
- The burden of improper payments to taxpayers
- Considerations to prevent improper payments
Generative AI: Poison or the Pill
Presenters: Anton Leontyev (Equiniti) and Dina Broydo (BDO)
After attending this session, attendees will better understand:
- How to define Generative AI
- Emerging Trends & AI in the News
- Poison: AI leveraged for Evil
- The Pill: How can we leverage AI to prevent improper behavior?
This presentation will define generative AI and describe what uses there may be for AI in fraud prevention techniques as well as internal auditing. AI has become more and more prevalent in today's news, so the presenters will discuss key cases leveraging AI for "evil" and mention ways in which organizations can use this tool in conjunction with other fraud prevention and auditing techniques for "good."
