Fraud Awareness Initiative

In November 2022, the USF Office of Internal Audit kicked off its Fraud Awareness Initiative seeking to further educate the university community on this important topic.  Regular updates include:

• Monthly “flash” reports on emerging fraud topics and trends
• Webinar training on fraud prevention and detection
• Presentations upon request for leadership/unit staff meetings
• Special daily events during International Fraud Awareness Week 

For anyone who suspects fraud may be occurring, notify your supervisor or report your concerns to the University’s EthicsPoint Hotline (866.974.8411 or USF EthicsPoint) where you may choose to remain anonymous. 

For more information regarding the responsibility all of us have to report suspected fraud, please see USF Regulation 5.001: Fraud Prevention and Detection.

Find out what you can do to make a difference, we are counting on you to be a fraud fighter at USF!
