Webinar recap: FWA Program Pitfalls

In our years of doing program assessments, we've learned a lot. In this video, Integrity Advantage President, Jala Attia recaps the Top Three Program Pitfalls that were covered during a recent webinar.


Hi everybody. Jala Attia here with Integrity Advantage. We just finished our webinar:

Top Three Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Program Pitfalls and How to Overcome Them.

We had some great attendance, some good questions, but also wanted to share what we see those top pitfalls to be.

The first one is: Not reading the signs of a struggling program. We equated this really to sort of like a volcanic event, which is you watch these signs build up over time. But any one of those signs alone doesn’t necessarily mean that you have a problem in your program. But, when they all are together, you potentially have a bigger problem on your hands. So, that was the first one.

The second one is: Ensuring compliance doesn’t always mean that you are going to have a successful fraud, waste, and abuse program. It means you have a compliant fraud, waste, and abuse program. But there are differences between having a compliant fraud, waste, and abuse program and having a very successful one.

And then third: Lack of organizational buy-in. That is one of the biggest pitfalls. Making sure that your organization buys into the value that you bring to the company.

But those are the three top pitfalls that we see. We’ll record some more videos so that we can dive into each one of them independently…and let me know. Are these some of the pitfalls that you guys see? If not, comment below. Thank you!
