[James Vanbebber]

University Community,

Revisions to Regulation 10.02.01, Fraud, Waste and Abuse<http://policies.tamus.edu/10-02-01.pdf>, were approved by the chancellor, effective November 14, 2016.  Below is a summary of the revisions.


  *   The following revision was made to align with the revision approved to Policy 10.02, Fraud, Waste and Abuse, at the Board's November 10, 2016 meeting.


     *   References to "investigation" throughout the regulation are changed to "review" to more appropriately reflect organizational and procedural changes within System Internal Audit related to the review of allegations of suspected fraud, waste and abuse.


  *   Section 1.2:  New text states that management shall report suspected fraud, waste or abuse to the chief auditor prior to conducting any review.


  *   Section 1.3:  Text is modified to clarify that retaliation against any employee for reporting fraud, waste or abuse will not be tolerated and any incidences will be reviewed in accordance with Policy 32.01, Employee Complaint and Appeal Procedures.


  *   Section 2.2:  The System Ethics and Compliance Office and the State Auditor's Office Fraud, Waste & Abuse Hotline are added to the list as sources for reporting suspected fraud, waste and abuse.


  *   Section 4:  Modified text clarifies that employees under suspension of fraud, waste or abuse may be placed on administrative leave with pay.


  *   Other minor editorial revisions provide consistency and clarity, and conform to system style guidelines.

Please distribute the revised system regulation among your staff as you deem appropriate.

If you have any questions, please contact the appropriate contact office noted.  Thank you.
