In February, a Recreation Hall employee was charged with the theft and fraudulent use of a credit card using credit information from another former employee. UC Davis officials are also awaiting results of an independent audit into allegations of misuse of university property by Facilities Services employees. An audit found weaknesses in internal controls, according to Jerry Hallee, special assistant to Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Robert Grey. Gregg said the real harm from employee fraud is the human loss and what it does to other members of the community. In many cases, the department often has not established proper procedures that would have prevented the employee from taking the money.
Some people have a lot of integrity.
Some people don't. Some people given the opportunity may be swayed. Gregg is filling dual roles in his old and new jobs until a new audit director is hired. His job change takes him from a portable building near the Rec Pool on the northern edge of campus to an office in Mrak Hall, the heart of campus administration. Gregg offers courses through the staff development risk awareness series on internal controls, ethics and accountabilty.
