What's New
Compliance Hotline
The University Compliance Hotline features were recently enhanced. When an employee makes a report, the call will be answered by a third-party servicer that will allow employees to remain anonymous. In addition, employees are now able to make a report anonymously via the web. Once a report is made, the details will be forwarded to Harvard University senior management to resolve. To make a report please call 1-877-694-2ASK or report via the web.
Construction Policy
The Construction Policy requires that capital projects with spending in excess of $5 million undergo an independent construction cost review under the Direction of RMAS. It is also suggested that projects under $5 million receive a review if there are other relevant risk factors. The review aids in ensuring that invoices are in accordance with contract documents, in the recovery of identified overcharges and avoiding future overcharges.
Ethics, Accountability and Internal Controls
RMAS continues to offer this full-day training event (9:30-3:30) that focuses on fiduciary responsibility and internal controls. The course is offered through the Center for Workpace Development (Harvard PIN required).
Fraud and the Workplace
RMAS developed a half-day workshop (9:30-12:00) that will be available to the Harvard community in 2009. The workshop will focus on the impact of fraud, the characteristics of fraudsters and the potential indicators of fraud. We will also advise on the steps to take if you suspect fraud and allow the participants to engage in a case study. The workshop is offered through the Center for Workpace Development (Harvard PIN required).
