SIGAR’s Hotline provides confidential means for reporting fraud, waste, mismanagement, abuse of authority, and reprisals for programs associated with U.S. funded Afghanistan reconstruction efforts.
Before submitting a complaint, you may want to review the following frequently asked questions.
SIGAR Hotline analysts evaluate every Hotline complaint to determine if it is within SIGAR’s jurisdiction. If it is, Hotline analysts will refer the complaint to the appropriate SIGAR staff members. If it is not, Hotline analysts will refer it to the appropriate military service branch or other responsible U.S. government agency.
You will either reach a Hotline analyst, who will ask you questions about your complaint, or you will be asked to leave a message so someone can call you back. All complaints that have merit will be reviewed. SIGAR will only dismiss frivolous or unfounded complaints.
Anyone.
You may report information openly, anonymously, or confidentially. If you feel comfortable identifying yourself and/or providing contact information, it will improve our ability to follow up, obtain more information, and evaluate your concerns. Please visit the Whistleblower Protection page for more information.
In accordance with the Inspector General (IG) Act, SIGAR will not disclose the identity of the individuals who come forward with information without the consent of that individual - unless the IG determines that such disclosure is unavoidable during the course of an investigation. You may choose to remain anonymous. However, we encourage you to provide your contact information. Please visit the Whistleblower Protection page for more information.
Your complaint may be forwarded to a SIGAR staff member for further review or investigation, or it may be referred to other inspectors general, military service branch, or other U.S. government agency for further review.
