Compliance and Ethics
Our Mission
欧美AV's Compliance and Ethics program reflects our organizational commitment to upholding shared values in compliance with the law.
The essence of the mission of the Office of Compliance and Ethics is to assist the University in creating an environment in which community members consistently exercise ethical behavior conducive to achieving and maintaining compliance with applicable laws, regulations, policies, and rules.
REPORTING CALENDAR-COMPLIANCE MATRIX
CONTENTS
The Compliance Matrix contains a summary of the federal laws, reporting deadlines, and additional resources applicable to institution units.
PURPOSE
It is imperative that each unit in our institution understand the federal requirements with which they need to comply so that they can integrate compliance into their overall processes.
USE
To support institutional compliance, we are providing you access to the Compliance Matrix developed by The Higher Education Compliance Alliance (HECA).
