Bond back to Boeing to assist with the BEST SOX compliance due to her effectiveness in 2006 . He contacted her again in October 2007 to recruit her as a permanent employee . Ms . Bond became a contractor employee again in November 2007 and immediately resumed her SOX compliance efforts while Managers Draffin and Bruce Warr continued to lobby Ms . Bond to be a permanent Boeing employee based on her knowledge and skills and prior performance achievements ( as well as her ability to hit the ground running ) . She became a permanent employee of Boeing effective February 22 , 2008 . Indeed , Ms . Bond had a very difficult assignment that by its nature often put her in conflict with the individuals and processes that she was required to police . Ms. Bonds advanced knowledge of SOX as well as her ethical obligations as a certified auditor led her to raise and escalate a number of important concerns in 2009 and 2010 involving the lack of internal controls , improper attempts to subvert existing internal controls , as well as other staffing and process complaints . Instead of informing Ms . Bond of the positive outcome and changes Boeing would be implementing as a result of her protected disclosure , her managers chastised her for raising those concerns at all , never confirming for her the obvious value of what she had disclosed .

After raising and pursuing her protected disclosures , Boeing began to subject Ms . Bond to a series of hostile actions , including harassment , giving her Corrective Action Memos , initiating an investigation , downgrading her performance without justification , and ultimately causing her layoff . Not only were these actions suspect in their timing , immediately following Ms. Bonds disclosures and escalations of these disclosures , they were unjustified.On September 29 , 2009 , just a few months after escalating her SOX concerns , Boeing Manager Joel Wright issued her two Employee Corrective Action memos , for failure to follow management directives and for not respecting a co-worker

Promoting drugs off-label amounts to fraud under the False Claims Act , as the unapproved uses were not medically accepted indications for which the federal and state Medicaid programs provided coverage . Under the Food , Drug and Cosmetics Act , a company must specify the intended use of a product in its new drug application to the FDA . Once the drug is approved by the FDA , the drug may not be marketed or promoted for off-label uses .
