Fiscal misconduct means breaking laws, violating USG or University fiscal policies and procedures, or using dishonest practices for unfair gain. Managers are responsible for prevention, but every student, staff, and faculty member must refuse to tolerate fraud and report it immediately.

How Reports are Handled
A campus triage committee (Legal, Audit, and HR) reviews all claims.
The committee decides the depth of the investigation based on severity.
Minor issues are handled directly with unit heads.
Major issues may be sent to the USG or other outside agencies for review.
