Our Compliance Program
Promote Integrity
The Division of Institutional Compliance & Privacy promotes and supports a culture of compliance and ethical conduct at Auburn University. Institutional Compliance & Privacy does not assume the duties of existing substantive compliance areas which were created to address specific legal and regulatory requirements. All ongoing compliance activities continue in their existing reporting structures. Institutional Compliance & Privacy's role is to centralize the information produced by these activities, provide coordination to ongoing efforts, and to assess Auburn University's overall compliance performance. With this goal, we can provide to Senior Administration and the Board of Trustees consolidated, organized and risk-based information in an objective manner.
Our Compliance Program is built on the elements of an effective compliance program as established in the U.S. Federal Sentencing Guidelines (§8B2.1).
