Computer Sciences Corporation agreed to pay $1,370,000 to settle allegations filed under the False Claims Act that it solicited and received improper payments and other things of value on technology contracts with government agencies. The relators, Norman J. Rille and Neal A. Roberts, alleged that CSC knowingly solicited and/or received payments of money and other things of value, known as alliance benefits, from companies with whom it had global alliance relationships. These alliance relationships and alliance benefit payments allegedly constituted kickbacks and undisclosed conflicts of interest in violation of contractual provisions and the Federal Acquisition Regulations.
