Linked Projects
Summary
Public reporting of improper consultant expenses on the HSR program will likely prompt California legislature or the Inspector General to mandate independent audits and enhanced program controls. This is an inference based on typical government response patterns.
Details
Firms offering audit, compliance, cost controls, and program oversight services should monitor for near-term sole-source or competitive procurements stemming from this scandal.
New spending likely directed toward independent audit firms, compliance consultants, and program integrity oversight services
