Case Study: Jefferson County Public Schools achieves stronger fraud prevention and protection of its $1B budget with NAVEX

Jefferson County Public Schools - Customer Case Study

Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS), one of the nation’s largest districts with more than 100,000 students, 155 schools, 18,000+ employees and a $1 billion budget, needed a reliable way to protect taxpayer dollars and detect financial misconduct. With the risk that employee financial pressures could lead to fraud, JCPS sought an intuitive, flexible reporting system to encourage early reporting and strengthen internal controls.

JCPS implemented NAVEX Global’s EthicsPoint hotline and integrated case-management platform, which was quick to set up and easy to use. Reports are triaged by accounting, security and internal audit, and investigations are managed within the system; the result has been scarce but highly relevant tips, a measurable deterrent effect on misconduct, and greater confidence in identifying and resolving issues before they harm students or finances.
