Whistle Blower Complaints
Section 4-61dd
of the Connecticut General Statutes is known as the Whistle Blower Act. It authorizes the
Auditors of Public Accounts to receive information concerning matters involving
corruption, unethical practices, violation of State laws or regulations, mismanagement,
gross waste of funds, abuse of authority or danger to the public safety occurring in any
State department or agency. (For more information see our Other

If you know of anyone in a State office or agency misusing or misappropriating public
funds or property, you can file a complaint with the APA by calling (860)

We will need to know:
You should state whether you actually observed the violations and, if you did, whether
you are willing to sign a sworn statement. If you did not personally observe the
violations you should have the names of witnesses who did and information on how to
contact them.
We request that you let us know your name, address and phone numbers but complaints can
be made anonymously if you prefer.
All information concerning the identity of a person or a
group of persons making a complaint is strictly confidential under State law and will not
be released by this Office.
