ON-LINE REPORTING: An individual submitting information may remain confidential (i.e., known only to the FLRA-OIG), allow their name to be used (i.e., included in any investigation that may take place), or be anonymous (i.e., unknown even to the FLRA-OIG). If the individual chooses to remain anonymous, FLRA-OIG cannot obtain additional information on the allegation (e.g., testimonial or documentary evidence; identity of witnesses) and also cannot inform the individual as to what action FLRA-OIG has taken on the reported information. Confidential status allows further communication between FLRA-OIG and the individual after the original report is received. FLRA-OIG will not disclose the individual's identity without the individual's consent, unless the Inspector General determines that such a disclosure is unavoidable during the course of an investigation.
