Question

I’m in a DAU class (CON 216) & I’m checking test questions and not sure how to answer. A former employee of the Space Flight, Corp has filed a lawsuit on behalf of the Government. He alleges that the company had a secret policy of charging cost overruns incurred on commercial contracts to their Government cost reimbursement contracts. What statute authorizes a private individual to bring an action on behalf of the government? Choice: *The Qui Tam provision of the False Claims Act, *Conspiracy to Commit Offense or to Defraud United States Act, *Forfeiture of Claims Act, or *Fraud and False Statements Act (I know not the answer.) Please clear me.

Answer 1

Answer: Correct is "Fraud and False Statement Act" because As mention, A former employee of the Space Flight, Corp has filed a lawsuit on behalf of the Government, in this Making the false statements to federal officials is a crime against the government, as space flight, corp do with making secret policy that didn't follow the government rules.

In the false claim Act, a person makes or do a lawsuit on behalf of the U.S, and the other person who informed that the named defendant is claimed or submitted the fraud and false statement or make the fraudulent clams to the united states.
