You might check other posting history-/ sounds likely the OP is unhappy and looking for something to get the employer into trouble
Well, this employee/former employee, whatever she is, she is seeking a form of satisfaction from her actions that she is not going to be able to get.
Based upon years of experience working with these types of programs and doing fraud investigation, having enough information to nail them to the ground and prove they have actually committed fraud is SO not necessary, and is NOT important. As a layman, you can read their training contract with the DOL until your eyes fall out, and you still won't understand exactly what constitutes fraud in the program, exactly how your employer was supposed to do the program, and whether their requirements were met. It is not your job to do that anyway.
The agency, in the other hand will know exactly what they want to see in regard to how the program was operated, who signed what, how much training the employees actually received. In fact, they do evaluations and quality control inspections on random employers who are participating in the program, even if there has not been a report that the entity is committing fraud. So the employer is on notice, just by signing up for the program that they may be subjected to an investigation or quality control audit at random.
The thing you will not get out of it, even if you are right on the money and they are committing whole scale fraud, is recognition, or any follow up information from the agency on the results of your report. They're not going to call you up afterward and tell you how the investigation came out, or give you any sort of whistleblower's award. One of the reasons people can continue to believe that these programs are filled with fraud and graft is that the agency's investigations and the catching of the frauds that have happened are rarely made public. The company is fined, pays back misappropriated funds, etc. But they are rarely prosecuted in criminal court and you will never ever be called to be a witness even if they were. So reporting them for fraud is a thankless sort of task, and believe me, you don't need to spend hours of your time investigating anything and making sure it's 100% accurate before you do any reporting. It's not your job. And as I have always maintained here, it does not affect the salary of the people who are supposed to do the investigation whether they catch anyone or not. They just do their jobs.
