It matters because it tells contractors that ethics programs and fraud reporting are part of the FAR framework.

Applies to: Contractors subject to the FAR, particularly those with covered contracts

Key terms: 41 U.S.C. 3509 · Notification of Violations of Federal Criminal Law or Overpayments · contractor codes of business ethics and conduct · Office of Inspector General (OIG) fraud hotline posters
