Moreover, when you contact the OIG Hotline, please provide as much detailed information as possible concerning your allegations, including:
- who is involved,
- when the situation you are reporting took place and whether it is still ongoing,
- where the situation occurred,
- what happened that was inappropriate and prompted you to contact the OIG Hotline, and
- how the situation took place.
