On October 12, 2018, Susan Gouinlock was a featured speaker at the Georgia Bar Association Annual Advanced Health Law Symposium in Atlanta, Georgia. Her presentation focused on the intersection of internal fraud investigations and False Claims Act (FCA) enforcement, a critical topic for healthcare attorneys, compliance officers, and legal professionals advising corporate healthcare entities.
Susan provided attendees with a practical framework for conducting effective internal fraud investigations in anticipation of, or in response to, FCA claims. She emphasized the importance of early risk assessment, attorney-client privilege protections, and proactive communication strategies with government agencies. These practices are essential for healthcare organizations aiming to manage exposure and protect reputational and financial interests.
Drawing from her extensive FCA litigation experience, Susan discussed how internal fraud investigations can uncover potential liability before whistleblowers or regulators intervene. Her talk underscored the vital role of internal oversight and legal counsel in fostering a strong compliance culture and mitigating the risks associated with federal healthcare fraud.
