Report Suspected Fraud at NCCU

See below if you know of suspicious behavior at NCCU and you are unsure if you should report it or how to do so.

NCGS § 114-15.1 requires all state agencies, including NCCU, to report misuse of state property. Any dishonest or improper act by an employee, such as acts that violate the law, waste money or endanger public health and safety, are of concern to the University.

When potential violations are reported, 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. NCCU Policy 01.04.8, "Misuse or Theft of University Property," protects employees who have reported suspected criminal activity in good faith from retaliation.

Dishonest or fraudulent activities include:

• Forgery or alteration of documents
• Misrepresentation of information on documents
• Misuse, mismanagement or misappropriation of funds, supplies or any other asset
• Improper handling or reporting of money transactions
• Authorizing or receiving payments for goods not received or services not performed
• Authorizing or receiving payments for hours not worked
• Theft of university property
• Personal use of university purchasing cards, materials or assets
• Falsification of documents or reports
• Any apparent violation of Federal, State or local laws
• Any unusual or suspicious activity

All methods of reporting suspected fraud, waste or abuse of university resources are anonymous and confidential.
