As Compliance Officer at St. Petersburg College, I have the pleasure of working with leaders in postsecondary education that care for students and their success. We promote a culture of compliance that requires integrity in decision-making and collaboration to arrive at the best solution for all situations.
All members of the College’s faculty and staff have a responsibility to report known or suspected instances of fraud or other financial irregularities, ethical violations, and improper activities. Improper activities may include mismanagement, malfeasance, and misuse or neglect of public funds and resources. If you believe a possible fraud or other violation has occurred, report it to your supervisor or the institutional Compliance Officer in accordance with college policy. If, based on an administrative review, reasonable evidence of abuse or fraud exists, an investigation, or audit as may be appropriate, will ensue and all appropriate measures, including any necessary legal action, will be taken. You may report anonymously.
