Fraud, Waste, Abuse, Financial Mismanagement, and Whistleblower Complaint

Use this form to report known or reasonably-based suspected incidents of fraud, waste, abuse, or financial mismanagement, as well as whistleblower complaints. Reports are submitted directly to the Office of Internal Audit (OIA) for review, and in the case of whistleblower complaints, for whistleblower protection determination. Non-whistleblower complaints may be reported anonymously. However, providing your contact information is encouraged, as it enables the OIA staff to follow up with you for clarification or further information. If you have any questions about reporting or the Fraud Prevention and Detection Regulation, please email the OIA at auditors@fiu.edu or call 305-348-2107. If the incident does not relate to fraud, waste, abuse, financial mismanagement, or a whistleblower complaint, you may report these through the Ethical Panther Hotline.
