Fraud: a type of illegal act involving the obtaining of something of value through willful misrepresentation. Such practices include, but are not limited to, theft; time and attendance abuse; misuse of Government vehicles; deceit either by suppressing the truth or misrepresenting material fact.

Waste: involves the taxpayers not receiving reasonable value for money in connection with any government funded activities due to an inappropriate act or omission by government employees with control over or access to government resources. Most waste does not involve a violation of law. Rather, waste relates primarily to mismanagement, inappropriate actions and inadequate oversight.

Abuse: the intentional improper use of Government resources that can include the excessive or improper use of one’s position, in a manner contrary to its rightful or legally intended use. Examples include misuse of rank, position, or authority or misuse of DoD resources.

Gross Mismanagement: an improper management action or inaction that creates a substantial risk of significant adverse impact on the agency’s ability to accomplish its mission. It is more than mere, trivial wrongdoing or negligence. It does not include management decisions that are merely debatable. There must be an element of blatancy.
