protection from false claims

Federal contractors and grant recipients must certify that they have no unlawful Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. Certifying without full knowledge of your programs could expose your organization to risks such as:

Contracts and/or grant termination
Forfeiture of federal government contract payments or loss of grant funds
Liability under the False Claims Act, including steep fines, treble damages, and up to five years in prison if convicted criminally.

A thorough DEI audit identifies potential issues affording your organization the ability to address and minimize liability prior to the federally mandated certification submission.

What is OutSolve's DEI Audit?

The DEI Audit is a comprehensive review of your organization's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices, which can be conducted under attorney-client privilege. It identifies policies or initiatives that may violate federal non-discrimination laws, provides recommendations on how to adopt lawful policies and initiatives, and offers added support to counter a potential False Claims Act allegation that the employer acted with reckless disregard for, or in deliberate ignorance of, its nondiscrimination obligations.

Who should consider a DEl Audit?

Federal contractors or subcontractors and grant recipients should consider this audit because they have to certify they have no unlawful DEI. Other employers seeking to acquire a government contractor organization in a merger or acquisition may also want to conduct an audit as part of due diligence.

Why should this audit be conducted under attorney-client privilege?

If the employer does not engage counsel to render legal advice, any internal findings may be discoverable in investigations or lawsuits.
