A response to your report and/or follow-up questions will be posted to the Ethicspoint’s system within 5 to 8 business days. OCTA’s Internal Audit Department will review, investigate and respond to all reports in a timely manner. Further, in order to ensure proper and timely action on all reports, the Internal Audit Department will prepare quarterly reports of Fraud Hotline Activity to the Finance and Administration Committee of OCTA’s Board of Directors. These reports will reflect the nature of complaints received and that status of disposition of these reports but will not include any information that could compromise the anonymity of reporters.
