Reporting Suspected Noncompliance at Institutions

The University of Texas System encourages reporting of any suspected compliance concerns.  Each UT System institution has implemented a compliance hotline that provides a confidential way for employees to report instances of suspected wrongdoing in a manner that preserves anonymity and assures non-retaliation. The compliance hotlines are operated by an outside company not affiliated with the UT System and are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Your call will be taken by a trained professional who will ask you questions about your concern. Calls can be made anonymously and will not be traced. Follow up contact with individuals making reports will only be made with their permission. UT System policy, Regents' Rules and Regulations , and state law prohibit retaliation against anyone who, in good faith, reports an instance of suspected wrongdoing or participates in an investigation pertaining to allegations of wrongdoing.

Employees are encouraged to address compliance concerns through their institution's normal administrative channels. To report suspected compliance violations of any kind, including violations related to the ethics policy, fraud and abuse, conflicts of interest, financial reporting, internal accounting controls, or audit matters:

1. Talk to your supervisor,
2. Contact your institution's Compliance Officer or Manager or another appropriate individual, or
3. Call your institution's compliance hotline
