Reporting Fraud, Waste and Abuse

All allegations of fraud, waste, and abuse are treated seriously and reviewed to the extent allowed by the quality of the information provided and evidence available. There are three means available for reporting observations of this nature:

• Contact Internal Audit's FWA Specialist at (540) 231-4744
or Internal Audit management at (540) 231-9478 or 231-7496
• Contact the University Police (540) 231-6411

The identity of the individual conveying the information remains confidential in any of the above cases. Internal Audit encourages individuals with information pertaining to potential fraud, waste, or abuse to contact the Internal Audit Department directly. Direct reporting enhances the ability of the reporting individual to assist the Internal Audit Department in gathering the evidence necessary to substantiate the claim and to initiate corrective action.
