There is a bigger issue here: Why wasn't such an analysis done 50 years ago? Where is the incentive for people to uncover fraud?
All governments should have a rule that says: if you uncover fraud or waste in a government department you get 5% of the money that taxpayers save.
- yorwba 9y agoYour proposed rule contains a great fraud opportunity: pay someone in government to "accidentally" waste money and then "uncover" it to cash out 5% of the waste.
- fnl 9y agoWell, if properly restricted to criminal fraud, it does make sense to me?
- MarkMc 9y agoThat's a good point - to be honest I hadn't considered that. However, government officials already have the opportunity to 'accidentally' waste money by paying more than necessary for goods or services, then getting a kickback from the supplier. Most likely the kickback would be more than 5%.
