It is the policy of BGSU to encourage its employees to report suspected misconduct and instances of fraud, 浪费, and/or abuse involving University resources.

欺诈 is the act of making false representations of material facts whether by words or conduct, by concealing information, or by making misleading statements in order to obtain some benefit or payment that would otherwise not exist. 的se acts may be committed either for the person’s own benefit, or for the benefit of some other party. Of course, these acts must have been committed knowingly, willfully and intentionally.

浪费 is spending money or using resources on goods or services in excess of actual need. 浪费 does not necessarily produce a benefit for the individual but is an act of poor management of funds.

滥用 consists of practices that cause unnecessary costs to the University. 滥用 can be similar to fraud, except that it is not possible to prove that abuse was performed knowingly, willfully and intentionally.
