It is the primary goal of the Victims of Corporate Fraud Compensation Fund (VCFCF) Ombudsman to demonstrate the Secretary of State's commitment to victims of corporate fraud by:

• Responding promptly to inquiries about VCFCF program information and application requirements;
  
  
• Guiding customers through the application submittal and review process;
  
  
• Referring customers to the appropriate government agency or consumer resources when the Secretary of State is not able to assist;
  
  
• Ensuring a careful and thorough review of each application and a prompt decision where the minimum legal requirements have been met; and
  
  
• Ensuring that victims of corporate fraud are paid the maximum compensation possible under the law.
