Please Note: Employees who, in good faith, report unethical activity are protected by the North Carolina whistleblower protection act against any retaliation for making a report. NCGS 126-84 encourages employees to report evidence of activities that include but are not limited to a violation of law, fraud, gross misuse or mismanagement of monies, or abuse of authority. UNC System Office finance policies and procedures provide further guidance on reporting and investigating the misuse of state property, including what employees are required to report and the steps that should be taken. 

When sharing concerns or suspected unethical activity with Internal Audit, please provide as much detail as possible about who, what, when, where, how, and how much/how often. You do not have to provide your name or contact information, however, providing this information is extremely helpful, as it will allow us to contact you should we have further questions or need additional details. Information provided will be treated as confidential and privileged to the extent permitted by law.

If you need to report a Systemwide concern, visit the University Hotline.
