Ethics, Compliance and Audit Services
The ECAS Compliance Program provides strategic oversight and coordination across key institutional risk areas; including research security, export control, research compliance, healthcare and privacy. Our centralized Policy Office leads the presidential policy process, ensuring consistency and alignment with presidential priorities. We maintain strong partnerships with campus Chief Compliance Officers, Chief Healthcare Compliance Officers, as well as with other compliance leaders across the UC system. In addition, we engage regularly with federal partners proactively addressing evolving regulatory challenges, positioning UC for effective compliance.
