support staff, and other employees should promptly report any
known or suspected fiscal misconduct by contacting the Director
of Internal
Audit at http://www.msu.edu/unit/intaudit/hotline.htmlor by phone (517-355-5036). The
University has also established a toll-free confidential
hotline (1-800-763-0764) that can be used to anonymously report
known or suspected misconduct (see following page for “Frequently Asked Questions” regarding the confidential Hotline).
The University prohibits retaliation against an employee who
makes a report, in good faith, of known or suspected fiscal misconduct.
Any employee who makes a false allegation
of fiscal misconduct with the intent to disrupt University
business or to cause harm to another individual may be subject
to disciplinary action.
All employees are required to cooperate fully
with those performing
an investigation into possible fiscal misconduct.
An
employee who suspects fiscal misconduct should not attempt
to conduct an investigation on his or her own.
The University may
take disciplinary action, pursuant
to existing University policies and collective bargaining
agreements, against
any employee who commits fiscal misconduct. Criminal charges
may also be brought against a University employee who commits
certain acts of fiscal misconduct.Click here for more information.
