UCSF Ethics, Compliance and Audit Management Committee
Charter
The Ethics, Compliance and Audit Management Committee (Management Committee) serves as the “working body” for the audit, ethics and compliance programs, meeting regularly to enable coordination, prioritization, and accountability for compliance risks university-wide.
The Management Committee consists of management-level compliance risk and business operations owners appointed jointly by the Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer and the Chief Audit Officer, and is responsible for:
- keeping a pulse on changes in regulations, laws, internal and external drivers of risk and the broader ethics and compliance environment, and recommending any necessary changes to policies, procedures, change in focus in audit or compliance areas, and/or implementation of good practices to the UCSF Ethics, Compliance and Audit Executive Committee (Executive Committee);
- providing subject matter expertise in addressing specific ethics and compliance problems and/or risks to the institution, and providing alternative solutions for consideration by the Executive Committee;
- coordinating efforts toward the implementation of changes in policies and procedures, training and education programs, or ethics and compliance solutions approved by the Executive Committee;
- ensuring adequate communication and cooperation across central units, schools and departments concerning overlapping ethics, compliance and risk management requirements; and
- reviewing external and internal audit results, problem solving and advising on best solutions to challenges and obstacles identified.
