Internal Audit Helpline
Every department head and business unit administrator is responsible for maintaining proper internal controls that provide security and accountability for the resources entrusted to them. This includes the recognition of risks and exposures inherent in their area of responsibility and the prevention and detection of instances of fraud and related misconduct, such as inappropriate use of the University’s resources and assets. It is a primary function of Internal Audit to identify and assess risks within the University campuses through independent auditing and consulting activities.
As part of our service to the University, we encourage any employee to contact us with questions relating to internal control or to discuss any issue relating to risks and exposures in their area of responsibility, please contact:
telephone: (405) 325-3411 and ask for a manager or
email: InternalAudit@ou.edu
Reporting Fraud
As stated in the Regents’ Policy Manual, all University employees have a duty to report instances of suspected fraud to Internal Audit. Internal Audit will coordinate internal investigations of suspected fraud with the appropriate University officials (e.g., Office of Legal Counsel, Campus Police, University officers, the Compliance Office, and/or departmental personnel) as deemed appropriate.
If you become aware of issues of potential fraud or related misconduct, please speak directly with the Director of Internal Audit:
