Combatting & Measuring Fraud: GAO's Use of Ontology
29m
Fraud hurts the integrity of US federal programs and erodes the public’s trust in the government. To assist agencies with combatting fraud and to improve its measurement through common definitions, GAO has developed the GAO Fraud Ontology. The model addresses the key elements of what occurs in a fraud scheme affecting the federal government, related elements, and its implications. It also serves as the basis for the AntiFraud Resource, a site focused on educating federal program officials about fraud and strategies for assessing and managing their fraud risks. This presentation will detail the process used to to develop the ontology, how it is supporting GAO work, and future directions the work may take.
