The Policy on the Prevention and Reporting of Fraud and Fiscal Irregularities informs the University community of each member’s responsibility to safeguard University resources and to establish standards for the reporting of suspected and known fraud or fiscal irregularities to the appropriate officials. Fraud and fiscal irregularities generally involve an intentional or deliberate act, omission or concealment with the intent of obtaining an unauthorized benefit, such as money, property or other personal or business advantage, by deception or other unethical means.
Members of the University community* are required to promptly report any known or suspected fraudulent activity or fiscal irregularities involving University and affiliated entity funds resources, property, or employees. Further details on this policy, including reporting options for suspected or known fraud, is available at http://policy.uconn.edu/?p=6794.
*For the purposes of this policy, members of the University community include, faculty, staff, contractors, business associates, and others involved in the activities of the University.
