From the largest state agency to the smallest Massachusetts community, every
dollar matters. In a time when significant reductions in revenues have resulted
in corresponding reductions in personnel and staffing levels, coupled with the
increasing use of technology in government’s day-to-day operations, there may be
more opportunities for fraud, waste and abuse than ever before. This book will
discuss the state’s Fraud, Waste and Abuse Initiative, including an introduction
to the newly-created state Office of Commonwealth Performance, Accountability
and Transparency, and review of the state’s new Toolkit for Departments to
Combat Fraud, Waste and Abuse. The program will also cover the state auditor’s
role in fraud, waste and abuse issues, both on the state and local levels,
including legislative initiatives proposed by the auditor to combat fraud, waste
and abuse.
