Product Details

The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) was established to provide federally backed loans to businesses that needed financial relief during the COVID-19 crisis.

As a result of the expedited implementation of the program and a lack of proper controls, the program proved to be susceptible to significant fraud. Federal authorities have undertaken extensive and aggressive efforts to identify and prosecute individuals and companies that may have fraudulently obtained funds.

Join us for a panel discussion on how businesses should be using the PPP loans properly in order to avoid a criminal probe. Participants will also gain knowledge on how best to navigate an investigation should a business come under federal scrutiny.
