MADISON (WKOW) -- A state fraud hotline received nearly 80 reports last year, consistent with the number of calls that were placed the two prior years.
The nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau operates the line and reported Wednesday on the 79 calls it received.
Of the calls in 2011, only 58 were state-related and within the scope of what the Audit Bureau could investigate.
Of those calls, 18 were related to people getting benefits they may not be eligible to receive, 17 were about agency mismanagement and 15 had to do with waste and inefficiency. Five dealt with employee misconduct.
Since the hotline began in April 2008, 107 of the calls were found to be unfounded and 108 were resolved. Thirty two are still under review.
To report a concern, call 1-877-372-8317.
