The Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury recovered a record-breaking amount of money from tips received from the office’s Fraud, Abuse, and Waste Hotline last fiscal year.
Confidential tips to the hotline led to the recovery of $1,112,500 in confirmed thefts, shortages and questionable costs for the last fiscal year.
Comptroller Justin P. Wilson says, “Tips to the hotline involved allegations against municipalities, counties, state agencies, federal agencies, and non-profit recipients of government funds.”
You can call the 800-232-5454 during business hours and speak to someone in the Comptroller’s office. You can also call after hours and leave a detailed message. You can also find a form on the Comptroller’s website where you can fill out a form on-line. All information can be anonymous, and will be kept confidential.
The hotline was started in 1983 and has received 21,000 tips since it started.
The state’s fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30.
