University Compliance and Ethics plays an essential role in responding to new laws and regulations impacting compliance areas of responsibility. Key responsibilities include:
- Monitoring changes in federal, state, and relevant international laws affecting compliance areas of responsibility and assessing impact to existing UCF regulations, policies, procedures, and practices.
- Collaborating with the Office of the General Counsel and relevant departments to develop or revise UCF regulations and policies in alignment with the new requirements.
- Informing relevant stakeholders (faculty, staff, administrators) of new requirements, providing guidance on compliance obligations, address training needs, and disseminate information to the campus community as appropriate.
- Identifying potential risks associated with non-compliance and working proactively to mitigate them. This includes conducting risk assessments, implementing controls, and addressing gaps.
- Maintaining accurate records related to compliance efforts. We prepare reports for accrediting bodies and government agencies as required.
The responsibility for compliance with laws, regulations, policies, procedures, and standards of conduct rests with every member of the UCF community. Please contact our office at complianceandethics@ucf.edu with any related questions you may have.
