State-Mandated Fraud Training

Per section 117.103 of the Ohio Revised Code, all public employees are required to complete training provided by the Auditor of State detailing Ohio’s fraud-reporting system and the means of reporting fraud, waste and abuse. This training is crucial in safeguarding our institution’s resources and reputation. It will equip you with the knowledge and tools to recognize and report any suspicious activities.

The on-demand virtual training should only take about 10 minutes and is designed to inform all state employees of the process of reporting potentially fraudulent activities.

The state of Ohio requires 100% employee participation in the training program. This training is mandatory for all Kent State employees, including faculty, staff, graduate assistants and part-time student workers. 

New employees must complete the training within 30 days of their start date. Thereafter, all Kent State employees must complete the training once every four years, in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code.
