Why does the Clerk & Comptroller’s office have an Ethics Hotline?
The Clerk & Comptroller’s office has an organization-wide commitment to ethics, integrity and protecting public funds. While regular audits and strict internal controls are essential tools that are built into how we do business, research shows that fraud is most likely detected through an anonymous tip. Organizations that provide employees with a way to report incidents, such as a hotline, reduce losses and discover fraud and other violations more quickly than those without a hotline. It’s also considered an effective deterrent to fraud, waste, abuse and ethical misconduct.
