What We Discuss in This Episode:
- What is the Organizational Integrity Group (OIG) and how does it help businesses?
- How has the coronavirus pandemic allowed the OIG to focus on what really matters when it comes to businesses responding in real-time to harm?
- What types of PPP audits and investigations will likely stem from the current pandemic?
- How will any investigations go beyond merely auditing funds that were disbursed? What else should businesses think about when carrying on with business activities under the PPP?
- What is the Defense Protection Act (DPA) and how might it affect enforcement of PPP spending?
- What types of questions are OIG clients asking of their counsel?
- One of the OIG’s First Principles guides businesses facing a potential crisis to “slow down the scene.” What does that entail?
- What goals are OIG counsel trying to achieve in what they call the legal “pre-mortem” portion of assessing a company’s needs?
- How important is it to “vet” any partners that your company plans on working with?
