Our Compliance Program

The Division of Institutional Compliance & Privacy promotes a culture of compliance and ethics at Auburn University.

Our Compliance Partners manage substantive compliance areas to address specific legal and regulatory requirements. Institutional Compliance & Privacy's role is to centralize the information and provide coordination to ongoing efforts and assess Auburn University's overall compliance performance. With this goal we can provide Senior Administration, and the Board of Trustees with 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).
