We are witnessing a disturbing surge in fraudulent activities in higher education and financial aid, and financial aid administrators have a fiduciary responsibility to report suspected fraud. The objectives of this session are to raise awareness of the startling sophistication of fraud, discuss credit industry mitigants, and review campus-wide best practices for deterrence. Just as Title IV administration is a campus-wide initiative, so is the detection and reporting of fraud. The session will highlight an integrated strategy for fraud prevention that includes multiple campus offices as well as external partners, such as the Office of Inspector General (OIG), credit agencies, and lenders.
