According to DAFI 90-301 Installation IGs will:
Encourage the use of local FWA hotlines for reporting suspected fraud, waste and “abuse” without fear of reprisal.
Establish controls to protect the identity of individuals who request to be anonymous.
Fraud: Any intentional deception designed to unlawfully deprive the government of something of value or to secure from the government for an individual a benefit, privilege, allowance, or consideration to which he or she is not entitled
Waste: The extravagant, careless, or needless expenditure of government funds or the consumption of government property that results from deficient practices, systems controls, or decisions. The term also includes improper practices not involving prosecutable fraud. Note: Consider wartime and emergency operations when explaining possible waste. For example, legitimate stockpiles and reserves for wartime needs, which may appear redundant and costly, are not considered waste.
Abuse: Intentional wrongful or improper use of government resources. Examples include misuse of grade, position, or authority that causes the loss or misuse of resources such as tools, vehicles, computers, or copy machines.
If you suspect someone of committing fraud, waste or abuse, please call the JB MDL IG Hotline at 609-888-6929.
