The types of activities that should be reported include, but are not limited to:
- Fraud
- Potential Conflicts of Interest

- Theft
- Vendor Kickbacks
- Questionable Procurement Practices
- Significant Violations of Laws and Regulations
- Misuse or Abuse of State Resources
The number to call is 1 (877) FRAUD-11 (or 1 (877) 372-8311). State employees can also use the Internet to report allegations over a secure connection at www.ola.state.md.us (click on “Stop fraud”). Information received is considered confidential and you can remain anonymous.
The toll-free hotline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Office of Legislative Audits is an independent, non-partisan agency that provides audit services to the General Assembly in its oversight capacity.
