Internal Audit
The Office of Internal Audit assists 91ÁÔÆæ's management by providing an independent evaluation of the soundness, adequacy, and application of accounting, financial and other operating controls necessary to accomplish the university's objectives.
Furthermore, it makes recommendations to improve systems, processes, and internal controls designed to safeguard university resources, promote its mission toward academic excellence, and ensure compliance with state and federal regulations, established policies, procedure, and sound business practices.

91ÁÔÆæ Ethical and Compliance Hotline
- Report via web:
- Report via phone: 1-877-516-3461
At 91ÁÔÆæ we believe that each of us shares the responsibility for maintaining an ethical, honest university. While speaking to your supervisor is the most effective way to report unethical behavior, we realize that it is not always possible to do so.
The Ethics and Compliance Hotline provides two easy ways to report concerns. You can submit a report via the web or you can call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Interview specialists will document your concerns and relay them to the university. Individuals who wish to remain anonymous may do so. Please join us in making this program a success.
When To Call
Whenever you have a concern about an observed event or employee behavior that may be in violation of a policy, you should address the issue with your immediate supervisor, the Human Resources Department, the Internal Audit Department, a University Administrator, or University Compliance Officer. However, if you fear retaliation for reporting, or if a report is given and no apparent action is taken, you should call the hotline and report all pertinent details related to your concern.
How To Call/Times To Call
You may call the 91ÁÔÆæ Ethics & Compliance Hotline at any time during the day or night, seven days a week, year round. The number is 877-516-3461.
Who Will Listen?
The University System of Georgia has contracted with a third party, Navex Global, to establish hotlines at all USG institutions. Navex employees answer the phone calls and receive the complaints filed online.
What Happens With The Information?
Navex Global employees receive the information provided by the reporter and clarify with the reporter which information can be shared with the institution and whether the reporter wants to file the r report anonymously. The information is then put into Navex Global case management system, classified for tracking purposes and provided to the individuals authorized by the University to receive and review the complaints to determine if further investigation or actions are warranted. Only four employees at the University receive notice of the Hotline Complaint – the Senior Vice President for Business and Finance, the Director of Internal Audit, the Associate Vice President for Human Resources/Risk/Compliance, and University General Counsel. Once a report is submitted, it is promptly reviewed to determine what further steps should be taken. The scope of the review and which official(s) will be involved will depend on the facts and nature of the case. Hotline reports are handled with the utmost care and in a timely manner.
Anonymity
Employees may choose to make reports anonymously. The Naves system also allows anonymous reporters to establish a “masked”.
