Ohio University employees required to complete fraud training program during fall semester

All Ohio University employees will be required to complete a new state-mandated fraud training program during the fall semester. The program will take less than 8 minutes to complete.

The training program is focused on the state of Ohio’s fraud reporting system and provides information on the means of reporting fraud, waste and abuse. All state employees and elected officials will be required to complete the training by Oct. 29, 2024. 

For Ohio University, this means that all faculty, staff and student employees, including graduate students, are required to complete the initial training by Oct. 29. Additionally, all future Ohio University employees will be required to complete the training within 30 days of their employment. Thereafter, Ohio University employees, as well as all state employees and elected officials, will be required to complete the training once every four years, according to the Ohio Revised Code.

The state of Ohio requires 100 percent participation in the training program.

The training website is not yet available, but Ohio University is providing this notice today so that all OHIO offices and employees will be aware of the upcoming mandated training program.

As soon as the training module is available, Ohio University will provide the link and additional information to all OHIO employees. Please visit the Auditor of State Bulletin 2024-005: Required Fraud Reporting and Training website for more information.
