Complimentary Webinar | Wednesday, April 22, 2026 | Noon - 12:45 p.m.
Federal and state investigators are still scrutinizing pandemic‑related loans and grants issued in 2020 and 2021, including those given to legitimate businesses across a range of industries. The potential penalties are steep and, for some businesses, devastating.
This webinar will cover:
- Why and how pandemic‑era loans and grants are still being scrutinized
- Why increased scrutiny is expected in 2026
- Examples of recent enforcement actions involving Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans — just one of many pandemic‑era recovery programs
- What a business that may be concerned about a loan or grant it received can and should do now in anticipation of a possible investigation
