Crime Reporting

The agency provides law enforcement services regarding fraud, waste, abuse or mismanagement of federal funds. Service includes a nationwide information line which provides information about how to report allegations of fraud, waste, abuse or mismanagement of federal funds by either federal employees and contractors or by non-governmental individuals, organizations, or companies which receive federal funds. Service also includes some referrals to other toll-free government telephone numbers and hotlines that deal specifically with the alleged type of fraud, waste, abuse or mismanagement, and that follow up on the handling of allegations of a serious nature. To register a complaint, the complainant must write, fax, or e-mail through the web address of the agency. There are no geographic restrictions.

The types of situations reported may include but not limited to private use of government property, work-hour abuse by federal employees, fraud by recipients of public financial benefits, and fraud related to government contracts.
