  • General Complaint Reporting – Summer 2022

    General Complaint Reporting

    In addition to the Fraud, Waste, or Abuse reporting form, Tennessee Tech also has a form on Internal Audit’s website for confidentially reporting complaints about accounting, internal control, auditing matters, code of conduct, and other related issues that are NOT fraud, waste, or abuse. Complainants remain COMPLETELY ANONYMOUS to Internal Audit unless the last section of the form is completed. General complaints received on this form are routed to appropriate campus departments for follow-up.

    The form can be submitted online or completed, printed, and mailed to Internal Audit, PO Box 5154, Cookeville, TN 38505.

    The online form can be found at https://tf.tntech.edu/machform/view.php?id=322625

    The printable form can be found at https://www.tntech.edu/internalaudit/pdf/generalcomplaints/gencomp2.pdf
