UNMC administrators and all levels of management are responsible for preventing and detecting instances of fraud and related misconduct and for establishing and maintaining proper internal controls that provide security and accountability for the resources entrusted to them. Administrators are also expected to recognize risks and exposures inherent in their area of responsibility, and be aware of indications of fraud and related misconduct. Responses to such allegations or indicators should be consistent. Management should contact the Director of Internal Audit or the Compliance Officer as soon as a fraud is detected or suspected.<br />  

Employees who know or suspect that other UNMC employees are engaged in theft, fraud, embezzlement, fiscal misconduct or violation of UNMC financial policies, have a responsibility to report it to their supervisor, appropriate administrator, the Director of Internal Audit, or the Compliance Officer. Employees should not confront the individual under suspicion or initiate investigations on their own, as such actions could compromise any ensuing investigation by the Director of Internal Audit or the Compliance Officer. All employees are to cooperate fully with those performing an investigation pursuant to this policy.<br />

The Director of Internal Audit or the Compliance Officer will coordinate the investigation and resolution of reported fraudulent activities with appropriate UNMC management and departments (e.g., Campus Security, Human Resources, Risk Management) and external law enforcement officials/agencies as appropriate in accordance with the following guidelines:     

*Contact the [mailto:barb.brey@unmc.edu Director, Internal Audit], 402-559-5824

*Contact the [mailto:sarah.glodencarlson@unmc.edu Chief Compliance Officer], 402-559-9576
