U.S. Brings Fraud Charges Against Private Security Vetting Firm
The U.S. Justice Department has accused United States Investigations Services (USIS), the largest private provider of security checks for the government, of bilking millions of dollars through improper background verifications, Reutersreports.
USIS has had a contract with the U.S. government since 1996 to vet individuals seeking employment with federal agencies, and the checks include investigative fieldwork on each application.
