  • You have the right to remain anonymous when making your complaint (i.e., do not provide your name, e-mail address, and phone number). However, it may be more difficult to determine whether an investigation is warranted without additional information.
  • All complaints received will be reviewed by the NAWCWD IG to determine if an investigation is warranted.

 Hotline Complaint Filing Tips

  • Please attempt to identify the problem area or issue you are reporting - contract or procurement fraud; environment, health, and safety violations; misuse of government computers; product substitution and suspect/counterfeit parts; bribery, kickbacks, and gratuities; false statements/false claims; conflicts of interest and ethics violations; travel fraud; theft and/or abuse of government property; other violations of Federal laws and regulations.
  • The IG does not investigate grievances or EEO complaints - please contact your agency’s EEO office. 
  • Consider giving your chain of command a chance to solve the problem you have identified.  Contact the NAWCWD Hotline if you feel your chain of command is not the appropriate authority for resolving the matter.
  • Remember that perceptions differ - Not all allegations of wrongdoing constitute violations of law, rule or regulation. A determination will be made if an investigation is justified based on the information in your complaint.
  • An investigation takes time - Be patient with the process.
