[quote=Anonymous]I've worked at a medium prominent org in dmv area for less than a year. I sensed things amiss but it took me a couple months to start putting pieces together.  I have now uncovered evidence of fraud. Specifically with billing and finance.  I don't work in finance. But I started looking into their billing practices bc it had an impact in my area and I couldn't understand.  I reviewed data and spreadsheets and finally saw the fraudulent billing that explained a lot.

I'm sorry I'm being vague. I just do not want to use identifiers.  My first instinct was to go to my boss who is high in the org. I hesitated.  Other senior leadership in the org are questionable in some things I've seen.

I weighed my options. The fraudulent billing if discovered would result in hefty fines (millions).  If they fess up we will be given x number of weeks and months to correct with a small slap.  This involves state and fed money.

If I tell.my boss I think he may be surprised but I don't think he'll want to know. He'd have to bring it to the top.and they won't be pleased to hear about this.  I actually think they know and are just wanting people to look the other way.

Do I get a lawyer and whistleblow. Or do I skip the whistleblow and bring this to light with my leadership??

I have been there less than a year but am well accepted and doing fine in my current role. I am so disgusted what I see I want to move on.

Thoughts? If I tell them and expect them to make it right, and they don't, I also.risk retaliation.

Thanks all.
