Fraud hot line suggested for Anne Arundel public schools

Anne Arundel public schools should send a strong message against fraud by establishing a confidential hot line for reporting unethical behavior.

“It provides a mechanism for people to not get in trouble or be intimidated by their boss,” said Legislative Auditor Bruce Myers, who added the school system wasn?t having a problem with fraud, but that the hot line, used in other school systems, was recommended in the audit of the school system by the state?s Department of Legislative Services, which also uses a fraud hot line.
