Re: Fraud Reporting Program
Best practices provide for a fraud reporting program
as an important part of a healthy business
environment. Purdue University has in place controls
to provide reasonable assurance that fraudulent,
illegal or dishonest activity on the part of University
employees, officers, or business contacts is
prevented or detected, but the potential for inappropriate
transactions and behavior still exists within the
University, as it does in any organization. Therefore,
consistent with best business practices, Purdue
University has implemented a fraud reporting program
to ensure that the University provides a mechanism
for reporting improper or inappropriate acts.
This is an important program, and I encourage you
to use it when appropriate and to communicate the
existence of this program to your colleagues in
the University community. Please help us make the
program a success by using it for its intended
purpose, reporting suspected improper or illegal
acts
affecting Purdue University that you have witnessed
or of which you might have knowledge. Personal
complaints regarding harassment or issues other
than fraud should be filed according to existing
University policies.
The Internal Audit Office is responsible for the
administration of the Purdue University fraud reporting
program. For additional information on the program,
please visit www.purdue.edu/fraud. A Disclosure
Form for Anonymous Reporting is available at the
website. If you have specific questions about the
program, please contact Peggy Fish, Director of
Audits, at (765) 494-7588 or plfish@purdue.edu.
To anonymously report suspected fraud or other wrongdoings, call (765) 494-6999,
toll-free (866) 818-2620, or mail information to Purdue University, Internal Audit
Office, Freehafer Hall of Administrative Services, 401 S. Grant Street, West Lafayette, IN
47907-2024.
Thank you for your assistance and commitment to
this effort.
