What happens when OACR receives a complaint involving fiscal misconduct?

In most cases, the first step is generally a preliminary fact finding. At the end of this stage, OACR makes a determination of whether or not to investigate and identify other offices, if any, that should be involved. OACR staff review relevant documents and interview appropriate parties. If the OACR contacts you, you can expect a courteous, thorough, professional interview intended to develop relevant facts.

You also need to be aware of the University's Policy Against Fraudulent or Other Dishonest Acts. At the end of an investigation, the OACR reports its findings to appropriate management and if necessary to prosecuting officials. OACR also identifies and communicates control issues that may be noted during the review.

What about maintaining a complainant's confidentiality?

While in all investigations, OACR exercises utmost sensitivity to conduct the reviews as confidential as possible, many allegations simply cannot be investigated without revealing directly or indirectly information that may lead to the complainant. Reprisal against an individual for cooperating with the OACR is prohibited by Florida Statutes and by institutional policy.
