Government Compliance Software

Municipalities strive to operate with the highest level of honesty and integrity. Fraud, waste and abuse hotlines provide oversight opportunities to detect and investigate fraud or other similar irregularities quickly and efficiently.

Fraud, Waste, and Abuse in Municipalities

Mistakes happen. The response times to those mistakes, and the actions taken after will determine how damaging they can be. Rules of acceptable behaviour may differ between employees and elected city officials. Fraud, waste, and abuse hotlines are designed to augment other corporate policies by providing an anonymous means to report any observed or suspected fraud or other wrongdoing involving the government.
