<title>ACS settles qui tam claims for inflated payments</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (ACS), headquartered in Dallas, Texas, has stepped up to the plate and agreed to pay the&nbsp;government $2,645,987.30 to resolve alleged False Claims Act allegations, <a href="http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/txn/PressRel07/ACS_settle_pr.html">announced U.S. Attorney Richard&nbsp;B. Roper of the Northern District of Texas</a>. ACS allegedly violated the civil False Claims Act by submitting inflated claims for payment between 2002-2005 for programs run by and through the Federal Government.</p>
<p>ACS should be applauded for&nbsp;voluntarily admitting&nbsp;that it&nbsp;submitted inflated claims to a local agency that delivered services to workers using funds provided by the three federal departments. They took a swift cause of action after&nbsp;investigating&nbsp;the claims, by firing&nbsp;the four employees involved,&nbsp; accepting&nbsp;responsibility for not holding up their high standards&nbsp;on the contract and paying the fine for the misconduct..<br />
<br />
If more corporations stood up and took responsibility for their actions, Corporate America would be a better place.<br />
