Campus Reporting of Fiscal Improprieties

The California State University (CSU) and Sacramento State are committed to the highest ethical standards and to creating an environment where fraudulent and other dishonest acts are not tolerated. The CSU and the campus also want to ensure that all resources entrusted to it are used ethically, prudently, and for their designated purpose. In this vein, CSU PolicyStat 13576706 (Executive Order 1104) requires Sacramento State and its auxiliaries to take certain actions in response to actual and suspected fiscal improprieties or fraudulent activities, including notifying the CSU and other state officials when particular conditions are met. These requirements apply to any actual or suspected dishonest act regarding the finances or assets of the CSU (state and non-state funds).

Campus and auxiliary personnel must notify the Office of the Vice President for Administration/CFO, through the campus Auditing and Consulting Services office, of all cases involving an actual or suspected fiscal impropriety. Once informed, the Office of the Vice President for Administration/CFO is responsible for determining whether notification to the CSU and other state officials is required. Personnel cannot be retaliated against for submitting a report of a fiscal impropriety.

For questions involving CSU PolicyStat 13576706 (Executive Order 1104) or to report a suspected fiscal impropriety, please contact Mashariki Lawson-Cook, Audit Manager, Auditing and Consulting Services, at m.lawson@csus.edu.
