About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)

The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services.

She was also fined $5,000 and ordered to perform 150 hours of community service. She pleaded guilty to her changes and took full responsibility for her actions. In June 2006, Boeing entered into a global settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice for $615 million to resolve this and other pending investigations.
