Which statement is NOT typically a concern addressed by a compliance program?

• A. Fraud
• B. Waste
• C. Ethical conduct
• D. Seasonal advertising

Answer: (D)

In FWA compliance, programs focus on preventing and detecting activities that waste or abuse resources and on maintaining ethical conduct across the organization. Fraud involves intentional deception for financial gain, waste covers unnecessary or misused resources, and abuse refers to improper practices that misuse program funds even if not strictly illegal. Seasonal advertising, while it may involve marketing decisions and potential consumer protection concerns, does not fall into the typical scope of fraud, waste, abuse, or ethical conduct targeted by a compliance program. It’s more about marketing communications than the financial and regulatory controls that FWA compliance programs are designed to enforce. So seasonal advertising isn’t usually a primary concern addressed by such a program.
