Download or read book Disaster Relief Fraud written by Jeanine Conway and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following any type of disaster, there is a strong chance fraudulent behavior will be present. Oftentimes, vulnerabilities exist for fraudsters to commit different types of fraud and go unnoticed. The focus of relief response is kept on helping those in need who have lost basic necessities. Government agencies concentrate on expediting resources and, in this haste, sometimes overlook areas susceptible to fraud. Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf States in August 2005 and, because of the magnitude of damage, highlighted where these vulnerabilities exist in the relief response. Just over seven years later, Hurricane Sandy hit the northeast US in October 2012. After Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Sandy was the next major storm to hit the US, and therefore, many similarities exist between the two. Although there is limited availability on fraud associated with Hurricane Sandy, a comparative analysis of audit reports and individual fraud cases related to each hurricane illustrates an improvement in the response from 2005 to 2012. Improvements were made in internal controls, and increased cooperation between different agencies allowed for a more efficient and effective response. Additional improvements can still be made to lessen the amount of taxpayer dollars lost to fraud, waste, and abuse. Strengthening internal controls, increasing oversight, and enhancing inter agency cooperation can help lessen the loss of funds to fraud. Ultimately, the ideal relief response would properly serve those in need while strictly managing the distribution of government funds.

Download or read book Hurricane Katrina written by Nessa P. Godfrey and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2009 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hurricane Katrina was the largest and most costly disaster in American history. More than 1,400 Louisiana residents lost their lives. Katrina produced the first mandatory evacuation in New Orleans history, and the largest displacement of people in U.S. history; 1.3 million. More than 200,000 New Orleanians remain displaced. While federal and state governments continue to respond to this disaster, this book has identified significant control weaknesses, specifically in the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Individuals and Households Program (IHP), and in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)'s purchase card program which has resulted in significant fraud, waste, and abuse. These lessons are particularly important because funding that is lost to fraud, waste, and abuse reduces the amount of money that could be delivered to victims in need. This book looks at the many challenges facing New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, including the rebuilding efforts, insurance losses, re-establishing the health care system and hospitals within the system, and the federal government's liability depending on the theory of the levee failures in New Orleans. The authors summarise the impact of the hurricane, report on the status of recovery efforts, explore the reasons why the recovery has proceeded as it has, and suggest issues that Congress might wish to consider in order to better plan for future disasters and to improve the capability of all levels of government to respond effectively.
