Internal Audit – Report Your Concern

Internal Audit and Advisory Services provides a confidential process for reporting concerns related to fraud, waste, abuse, misconduct, or compliance issues within Idaho’s public higher education system. Reports help support accountability, transparency, and responsible stewardship of public resources.

Individuals are encouraged to submit concerns when they identify potential issues that may require review or follow-up.

Fraud, Waste and Abuse

IAAS is the primary office responsible for reviewing instances of fraud, waste or abuse. Such activity should be reported directly to IAAS, to your institution’s compliance officer or through the anonymous reporting mechanisms listed below.

Other Reporting Concerns

Additionally, University employees are expected to report other concerns involving:

  • Circumstances that pose a threat to health and safety
  • Potential violations of laws and regulations
  • Violations of Board or University policies and procedures
  • Conflicts of Interest
  • Cybersecurity concerns
  • Any other compliance or ethics related issues

Other matters can be reported through a variety of mechanisms. Employees are encouraged to first bring their concerns to the attention of their supervisors or other leadership in their operating unit. If for some reason that is not possible, employees are encouraged to make reports directly to any of the following administrative units.

Emergencies

Emergency situations or concerns that could impact human health or safety should be reported immediately to:
