Reporting Fraud, Waste or Abuse
The Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller is committed to preventing fraud and maintaining an environment in which internal controls can be established and improved. A crucial element of internal control is a mechanism for preventing and detecting fraud, waste and abuse of County resources.
The Clerk has contracted with Red Flag Reporting - an independent, external hotline service provider. Employees and citizens can anonymously report unethical behavior and potential fraud, waste or abuse by employees, contractors, vendors, or other entities that have a business relationship with the County.
What to Report:
- Theft, waste or misuse of County assets or resources
- Violations or circumvention of County policies, local laws, rules or State or Federal regulations
What Not to Report:
- General complaints, suggestions or personnel issues
- Issues of extreme urgency, such as threat of violence or harassment
How to Report
We encourage reporting via the RedFlag Reporting fraud hotline:
- Reports can be made 24/7/365 via the internet (www.redflagreporting.com)
- Toll-free number (1-877-647-3335).
