Compliance Responsibilities
All DePaul managers are responsible for knowing and complying with the university’s policies and procedures, including those highlighted in the Management Standards Handbook and accompanying training session. Participation in Management Standards Training and the Manager Control Self-Assessment Certification process is an annual requirement. .
DePaul identifies certain university activities as high risk with respect to compliance. Managers are accountable for cooperating with the responsible parties for each high-risk area to ensure that the controls established to mitigate DePaul’s risks are followed. In addition, managers are responsible for participating in specialized training as required, to address risks specific to their area.
The prevention, detection and reporting of misconduct is the responsibility of all DePaul employees. Managers are expected to recognize risks and exposures in their area of responsibility, and be aware of indications of fraud or other misconduct. Any concerns regarding compliance or alleged compliance violations should be addressed through typical managerial channels when appropriate. Reporting suspected non-compliance can be done in a number of ways:
- A letter stating an alleged impropriety can be mailed to the Office of Institutional Compliance, 1 E. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL. 60604, or the letter can be e-mailed to compliance@depaul.edu
- The compliance department can be called directly regarding any questions or concerns. The department's number is (312) 362-6880
