How to Report an Incident Through the KU Hotline

The KU Hotline is the reporting channel featured on the Internal Audit homepage at internalaudit.ku.edu. The site describes it as the place to "learn more about the hotline and how to report an incident," so the homepage is your starting point: follow the KU Hotline link there to reach the page that explains the specific submission methods. If you would rather contact the office directly, Internal Audit lists [email protected] and 785-864-2700.

What the KU Hotline is for

The homepage presents the KU Hotline as the entry point for reporting an incident or concern. The site does not spell out on the homepage which categories of incidents the hotline covers, so treat the KU Hotline page itself as the authoritative source for scope, eligibility, and what happens after you submit.

How to get to the reporting instructions

1. Go to internalaudit.ku.edu.
2. Find the KU Hotline heading near the top of the page.
3. Follow the KU Hotline link to open the page about the hotline and how to report an incident.
4. Use the submission method described on that page.

The homepage only tells you that the hotline exists and that reporting instructions live on its own page; it does not list a phone number, form, or email for the hotline itself. That is why the link matters — the actual steps are one level deeper.

Other ways to reach Internal Audit

If your question is not an incident report, or you want to speak with the office first, the homepage lists these contact details:

What Internal Audit handles

Knowing whether your concern belongs with Internal Audit can save a step. The homepage states that Internal Audit "conducts operational, compliance, and financial-related audits and investigations for the University of Kansas." Its listed services are:

• IT & Privacy Risk Assessments
• Leadership Transition Reviews
• Annual Financial Certification
• Audits

If your report falls outside audit and investigation work, the KU Hotline page is still the right place to check, since it is presented as the general incident-reporting route.

Common sticking points

• Expecting a form on the homepage. The homepage only links out; the reporting method is described on the KU Hotline page.
• Assuming the hotline is the same as the office email. They are listed separately. Use the hotline for incident reports and [email protected] for general contact.
• Guessing at anonymity or follow-up. The homepage does not state whether reports are anonymous or what response time to expect. Confirm those details on the KU Hotline page before you rely on them.
