Defense contractor? I would stay out of it completely, and find a new job.

If this involves fraudulent charges to Medicaid or Medicare, I would leave ASAP. You don't want to be there when the feds discover the fraud.

OP here. Thanks all. It is definitely fraudulent billing. It isn't a misunderstanding. It explains a lot of what I've seen that didn't make sense to me before. I will consult with an attorney first. Then I think I'll bring it to my leaders attention and go from there. Not sure at this point. Wish I could unsee it. I audited multiple accounts and it's a pattern. Although I'm new to this prg I am a seasoned professional in this field and I know how to recognize something non compliant of this nature.

Read about Sarah Feinberg. She was a whistleblower at Booz Allen.


1) She notified management when she thought she found something wrong.

2) She quit put every thing in writing in her resignation letter.

3) She got a lawyer. (Not sure when)

4) She got $40M from the government.

The article below has some details.

I don’t think you can be a whistleblower and continue to work at the company.

Present it as, “I’ve noticed these discrepancies, could you please explain the situation to me so I better understand the processes?” Or something like that. You are new enough that it seems at least possible that you are misunderstanding something, or something is done in a funky way at your org that other people just live with and know how to work around but isn’t actually illegal or unethical. (I work at a very old org and we have some archaic processes—that’s why I mention it.) I just don’t think you should go straight to whistleblowing without sharing your concerns with someone else.

This. Maybe you are just being vague on purpose but I’m not at all convinced that you didn’t uncover a mistake (either on your part or theirs). Or maybe it’s fraud, but even still it’s hard to imagine that someone < year could uncover something that no one else has seen. You need to ask about it first and see what happens next. Otherwise you’re just get fired while they fix whatever the issue is with the funding source.
