Compliance Aids

Topics & Owners

Compliance owners are those individuals who, based on their responsibilities and subject matter expertise, oversee compliance efforts in certain topic area. Compliance owners may develop and implement policy, conduct risk assessments, provide training for personnel, and monitor activities related to regulations under their purview. The Compliance Matrix provides detailed information about each regulatory requirement, including who acts as the compliance owner and who provides additional expertise as a compliance partner when multiple subdivisions of the university are impacted by the regulation. This document provides a listing of broad compliance areas and the compliance owners involved in those areas.

Matrix Life Cycle

The Compliance Matrix is a living document in the sense that it is constantly changing as the compliance environment develops. In order to maintain the matrix, a process has been established that allows compliance owners and responsible executives throughout the university to update regulations and the personnel who work on them, and to provide new resources as they are developed. University Ethics and Compliance works with compliance owners to make sure that the matrix accurately reflects the regulations USU responds to and the compliance leaders that provide oversight.

Documentation Review

Similar to USU’s Contract Review process, the Compliance Documentation Review Form is available as a guide for verifying for third parties that USU is compliant with US Government regulations and has assigned appropriate personnel, when required, to provide review and oversight of regulatory requirements. The Director of Ethics and Compliance Services is responsible for coordinating efforts to provide necessary certifications and representations using the Compliance Review process.
