Or. Admin. Code § 309-013-0090

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 12, December 1, 2024

Section 309-013-0090 - Investigation of Suspected Fraud and Embezzlement

(1) In cases of suspected fraud and embezzlement involving funds and resources of the Division:

(a) The Administrator shall begin the investigation immediately and may, in the course of investigation, call upon the services of appropriate law enforcement agencies, the Attorney General, the Division Audit Unit, and/or other who may be of assistance in developing the case;

(b) A service provider which has contracted with the Division is responsible for developing cases of suspected fraud and embezzlement involving its employees and/or the employees of its subcontractors, and is responsible for referral to the proper authorities. However, the Division may assume control of any case not handled to the Division's satisfaction.

(2) In cases of suspected fraud and embezzlement which do not involve funds and resources of the Division:

(a) The aggrieved parties shall seek their own resolution, and the Division will not become involved in development of the case or prosecution, except it may intervene in cases involving resources of clients of service providers;

(b) The Division shall review the case to determine whether the lack of internal controls which allowed fraud or embezzlement to occur might also endanger Division resources. If that possibility exists, the service provider shall be required to adopt and follow procedures which the Division decides are needed to minimize chances for recurrence of the fraud or embezzlement. Failure of the service provider to adopt and follow such procedures shall constitute grounds for refusing to contract with the service provider in the future, and for terminating the existing contract.
