Annual Fraud Awareness Reminder

Alan M. West, Assistant Vice President and University Controller

As UF employees, we are all responsible for safeguarding the University’s valuable financial resources. Every member of the University community has the responsibility to report any actions or activities of concern.

Part of being a responsible steward is to be aware of the possibility of fraud in our organization. Very often fraud symptoms are mistaken for administrative errors because we cannot conceive of the existence of fraud, especially in an organization like ours where we may have a longtime affiliation with our co-workers.

Please visit http://www.compliance.ufl.edu/ for more information about what to do and how to report actions or activities that concern you. If you are not comfortable reporting your concern via normal administrative channels, the University has established two methods to anonymously and confidentially report your concerns of suspected wrongdoing. You can call the University Compliance Hotline at 1-877-556-5356, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You can also complete an anonymous online form using the Online Reporting Service.
