Focus on Compliance: The Next Generation of Corporate Integrity Agreements

The purpose of the roundtable was to solicit feedback from the representatives regarding
their compliance “best practices” and their efforts to implement the requirements of their
CIAs. OIG will consider the feedback when deciding what terms to include in future
CIAs.
