Subject
Summary:

Forty-eight of the top 100 military contractors have disclosed procurement fraud as part of a Defense Department (DOD) program encouraging voluntary reporting of such incidents. But the total number of disclosures has been small and the dollar amounts recovered have been modest--less than $100,000 in 63 percent of the cases. Moreover, under DOD's Voluntary Disclosure Program, cases took an average of 2.8 years to close, with about 25 percent taking more than four years. Less-than-full cooperation from contractors and low priority given by DOD and other investigative agencies to managing cases expeditiously may be problems in some cases.
