Fraud Facts
People who commit fraud are impacted by:
- Perceived pressure
- Opportunity
- Rationalization
If You Suspect Fraud...
- Do not confront the suspect
- Do not investigate the situation yourself
To Report Fraud:
The University of Iowa has implemented a fraud hotline through Ethics Point, a third party hotline provider, that has automated and anonymous reporting mechanisms in place to bring forward misconduct issues and concerns across campus. You may file a report by:
- Calling 1-866-384-4277
- Going to the University of Iowa's Ethicspoint website
- Going to the University of Iowa's Ethicspoint mobile website (or scanning the QR code to the left)
The hotline is managed by the Office of Internal Audit and all reports are investigated as promptly and discreetly as possible with the facts made available only to those who need to investigate and resolve the matter. Ethics Point and the University are committed to safeguarding the confidentiality of individuals who submit reports and University policy prohibits the taking of any retaliatory action against anyone for reporting or inquiring about potential misconduct.
