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.
