HAMILTON COUNTY GOVERNMENT REPORTING HOTLINE

The Hamilton County Commission established an independent Internal Audit Committee to provide independent review and oversight of the County’s financial reporting process and internal controls. As part of this commitment to accountability and transparency, the Hamilton County Internal Audit Committee brought forth this reporting hotline to provide employees and other stakeholders with a confidential way to raise concerns regarding suspected theft, fraud, corruption, misuse of County resources, or other matters that may require review. Hamilton County is committed to conducting its operations with integrity, accountability, and responsible stewardship of public resources.

At this time, this tip reporting system is for Hamilton County Government only.
