Webinar Recap: What Sponsors Must Know About Fraud

Darshan Kulkarni

After our first-ever deep dive webinar on ‘Protecting Sponsors, Fraud & Compliance in Research,’ Darshan Kulkarni, Edye Edens, and Nirpal Virdee sat down to reflect on what turned out to be a high-impact and incredibly timely conversation.

  • Nirpal (the newest face on the team, leading business development) shared how exciting it was to finally launch a series we’ve been planning for months — tackling hot-button issues like regulatory scrutiny from DOJ, ORI, OIG, and the political narratives surrounding clinical research.
  • Edye emphasized the strong audience engagement — not just around prevention of fraud but real, practical steps for what to do once it’s detected. As she put it: when the questions keep coming, you know the topic matters.
  • Darshan noted how the discussion reflected a broader shift in sponsor-site relationships, with all parties recognizing the need for stronger alignment, transparency, and compliance.
