Fraudulent Billing Practices
Fraudulent billing practices involve submitting false or exaggerated invoices for goods or services to receive payment unjustly. This can include charging for services not provided, inflating costs, or billing repeatedly for the same item. Such practices aim to deceive organizations or individuals into paying more than they owe, often for personal or organizational gain. These actions are illegal and undermine fair business operations, potentially leading to financial losses, legal penalties, and damage to reputation. Recognizing and preventing fraudulent billing is critical for maintaining integrity and transparency in financial transactions.
