Title: "Forensic Accounting FBI Case Study - Healthcare Fraud in the Greater Houston area"

Description:  Healthcare Fraud is rampant in the Houston and surrounding areas.  Doctors, clinics, hospitals, diagnostics, community mental health centers etc, are all areas where fraud can be found.   These local FBI investigations include money laundering, mail and/or wire fraud, conspiracy and other illegal activities.  Today, we are going to show what a Forensic Accountant in the FBI can contribute to any type of investigation.  Also, we will delve into a Healthcare Fraud investigation from the Forensic Accountant point of view.  This will show how a Forensic Accountant is an integral part of the investigative team.
