Campus Reporting of Fiscal Improprieties

Dear Colleagues,

The following message is our annual reminder to all of our campus partners. Cal Poly Humboldt is committed to the highest ethical standards and to creating an environment where fraudulent and other dishonest acts are not tolerated. As part of an ongoing effort to provide public accountability, the campus president is required to notify CSU and other state officials of certain cases of actual or suspected fiscal improprieties, including issues related to the campus itself and to an auxiliary of the campus. These reporting requirements apply to both state and non-state funds. You may refer to the CSU Executive Order 1104 for more information.  Fiscal improprieties include fraud, embezzlement, or theft, initiated not only by a campus constituent such as a student, university employee, or auxiliary employee, but also by an external party. Actions that result in a loss of assets shall be reported as required, even if the loss is later recovered or reimbursed.

When there is any case of actual or suspected fiscal improprieties, please immediately report it to our AVP of Financial Operations, Sarah Long, at 707-826-4036 or snl20@humboldt.edu. The campus will conduct an inquiry on any complaint, allegation, or possible evidence of fiscal improprieties. If you have any questions, please contact Sarah Long.

Sincerely,  

Michael Fisher
Acting Vice President for Administration & Finance and Chief Financial Officer
