Compliance Audits and Investigations

The University Compliance Office is staffed with three compliance auditors. At this time, they mainly perform research compliance audits, with a planned phase-in of audits in other compliance areas.

The research compliance audits test compliance with federal regulations and Washington University's policies surrounding research.

Audits are performed on a proactive basis, in accordance with the University Compliance Office's risk assessment. Special, investigative audits may also occur as a result of calls to the compliance hotline or to the University's Office of General Counsel.
