If it were easy to spot fraud, you wouldn’t need to watch this video.

The TVA OIG’s latest video release addresses the thought, “If only it were easy to spot fraud.” The four-minute video showcases what it might look like if this were easy, but because it’s not, a message from the Inspector General highlights what employees can do if they suspect fraud.. 

It is estimated that fraud costs U.S. companies up to 6 percent of its revenue every year. TVA OIG doubts that TVA's fraud loss is that high but the organization’s history suggests that significant fraud does occur at TVA. This cost is passed on ultimately to the rate payers. That’s a cost TVA can’t afford. Help protect TVA assets by joining us in the fight against fraud. 

The Empowerline, operating 24/7, allows you to report suspected fraud, waste or abuse of TVA anonymously. Visit the Empowerline at www.OIGempowerline.com or call 877-866-7840 today.

The OIG is charged with promoting economy and efficiency while preventing and detecting fraud, waste, and abuse affecting TVA.  Although thousands of TVA employees and contractors are hardworking and honest, there are those few who will be tempted to cheat the agency in one way or another.  TVA employees, contractors, and the public can help make a difference at TVA by reporting any suspicions about fraud, waste, and abuse to the OIG hotline system, known as the Empowerline.  As an incentive, individuals who provide information about fraud which leads to a felony charge or significant monetary recovery may receive a financial reward.  We think it’s just good business to help those who help us put a stop to fraud affecting TVA.
