SUBJECT: Reporting and Investigating Improper
Governmental Activities
Colleagues:
UCSD policies and procedures for reporting and investigating improper governmental activities, including misuse of University resources, fraud, and other financial irregularities are outlined in PPM 460-5. This PPM has recently been updated and will be issued to you in a new form shortly.
Established campus protocols provide that all allegations of fiscal irregularity be referred to Internal Audit Services to determine the extent of investigation warranted. It is unfortunate, but necessary, that in our efforts to detect and deter inappropriate behavior, we must sometimes pursue allegations that are frivolous and that ultimately prove to be unfounded. However, it is incumbent upon us to trust these efforts to the people with the training and resources to evaluate the appropriate level of investigation. This approach is required both by UC policy and by the best interests of the University.
On behalf of the Chancellor, I appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
John Woods
Vice Chancellor - Resource Management and Planning
