FRAUD DETERRENCE

What is a compliance plan?

A set of standards, policies and procedures that are

reasonably designed, implemented, and enforced.

The compliancy plan is effective in preventing and

detecting criminal conduct, as well as civil fraud and

abuse as defined by applicable state and federal

standards.

The plan is in accordance to the provision of, and

billing for, the services offered by

Southside Community Services.

abuse in the provision of services by Southside

Employees have a duty to report suspected or

perceived misconduct on the part of any SCS staff.

Failure to report a suspected violation may be the

basis for disciplinary action against an employee.
