2 Shoddy - poor sleezy stuff, woven open enough for sieves, and then filled with shearman s dust... Soldiers, on the first day s march or in the earliest storm, found their clothes, overcoats, and blankets, scattering to the wind in rags or dissolving into their primitive elements of dust under the pelting rain. Civil War 4 Civil War 5 You can sell anything to the government at almost any price you ve got the guts to ask. Jim Fisk Civil War 6
3 False Claims Act passed by Congress on March 2, 1863 Before the FBI and DoJ Private bar brought lawsuits on behalf of the government "qui tam pro domino rege quam pro se ipso in hac parte sequitur," he who brings an action for the king as well as for himself." Double damages fines, plus $2,000 civil fine per violation Relator entitled to 50% of the amount recovered Civil War Professional Relators Waited outside courthouse After Government filed criminal claim they copied this information into a Civil False Claims Actions Collecting 50% of the Government s claim 1943 WWII 8 Congress changed FCA Give DoJ supporting evidence DoJ had 60 days to intervene Relator could receive fair & reasonable compensation 10% cap if Government intervened 25% if they did not 1943 WWII 9

10 28 29 Action Items Increase Awareness Promote a sense of Agency Help Employees Feel Secure Help Employees Develop a Sense of Connectedness 30
11 Awareness resources available to employees who have questions Behaviors the company considers wrong (for managers) the situations that constitute reports of misconduct 31 Agency Demonstrate to employees that they make a difference when they report Communications campaign Acknowledge and reward reporter s courage 32 Security Communicate the well-being of the company Provide resources to seek advice In high risk situations, give increased support Provide stories about those who reported, and were supported by the company 33
12 Connectedness Give opportunities for employees to connect around common interests in ethics Support employee involvement in their communities 34 Support Train managers to respond to reports Develop ombuds programs Provide rewards to employees who report Offer support to families of employees who report misconduct 35 Listening to the Quietest Voice in the Room If everyone has a sense of long-term stewardship over our assets every day, then people will also start to speak up more if they have concerns. I want us to sharpen our everyday attitude to operational and technical risk, to ensure it is the norm for people on the frontline to speak about risk, and for managers to listen. Bob Dudley, CEO of BP Replaced former CEO, Tony Haywood July 27, 2010 I don t assume that I always know the answer to something. I can draw on years of experience and intuition, but we need to be constantly enquiring and learning and listening to everyone including the quietest voice in the room. We have to keep thinking the unthinkable be it operational, financial or compliance risk. Nobody has all the answers. Only by working together and making the most of everyone s capabilities will we begin to move the company forward. 36
