Government Compliance Software: Simplifying Municipal Obligations
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.
Municipalities must operate in compliance with many local and federally mandated regulations concerning privacy, finance, public safety, procurement and accessibility. Compliance programs provide governments with the ability to report, manage, analyze, and monitor critical information so they can quickly mitigate potential risks, and demonstrate compliance with regulatory and legal requirements.
