What is the role of the Office of Compliance and Business Integrity (CBI) in the VHA?

The Office of Compliance and Business Integrity (CBI) plays a crucial role within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) by focusing on internal oversight of VHA revenue operations. This involves ensuring that all revenue-generating processes are not only effective but also adhere to compliance standards, policies, and regulations. The CBI aims to protect the integrity of VHA operations and maintain accountability in financial practices.

By conducting this internal oversight, the office is able to identify potential areas of risk, implement corrective actions as needed, and ensure that the VHA upholds its commitment to ethical standards and legal compliance. This focus on internal systems is essential for maintaining trust and efficiency in operations, which ultimately supports the mission of providing quality care to veterans.

While external audits and training are important components of a compliance program, they do not capture the primary responsibilities of the CBI, which center on managing and overseeing internal compliance related specifically to revenue operations.
