The DOJ established a new National Fraud Enforcement Division focused solely on fraud against the US government with five priority enforcement areas including government procurement, health care, tax, global trade, and corporate misconduct, signalling a sharp increase in coordinated and data-driven fraud investigations.

You face a new, unified DOJ division hunting fraud with unprecedented scale and data tools. This opens a sharp risk of detection and prosecution across sectors reliant on government contracts or trade compliance.
