Report Fraud, Waste or Abuse

All members of the Bucknell Community including outside vendors are encouraged to report any suspected fraudulent activities. Reportable fraudulent activities include:

Unethical or questionable accounting practices
Falsification of reports or records
Theft, waste or abuse of university assets
Internal control concerns
Other accounting and/or auditing issues

The University provides several options to report such activities.

The university has contracted with EthicsPoint, a third party reporting provider, to accept anonymous and confidential reports of accounting and auditing fraudulent activities. EthicsPoint provides two options in which an individual can file a report. You may call the EthicsPoint toll free report hotline (1-866-384-4277) and speak directly with one of their trained operators or you can file a report online from any internet connected computer at:

www.ethicspoint.com

Select "File a New Report" and type Bucknell University in the Organization's Name field.

Once a report is filed with EthicsPoint, they will provide information to the University's Office of Internal Audit for review and appropriate follow-up. The report received from EthicsPoint is confidential and anonymous, unless the reporter chooses to release their identity. At the conclusion of filing a report, a reporter will receive an id and a password. We ask that you return to the EthicsPoint website within 10 business days and check the status of the report. The university may post follow-up questions for the reporter to answer.

This new reporting tool is only meant to be a supplement to Bucknell's existing communication lines. Members of the Bucknell Community are still welcome and encouraged to communicate any concerns through their supervisors, Human Resources or through the university's work place advisors program. Feel free to use this new channel of communication if you are uncomfortable discussing a financial issue in person.

Also, you can contact the University's Internal Auditor directly via email (rstauffe@bucknell.edu), telephone 570-577-3305, in person via campus mail or the US Postal Service. All discussions the University's Internal Auditor will be kept confidential.
