JMU’s Compliance Program provides management with the information needed to understand compliance-related risks.  Our compliance program adds value through prevention, increased accountability, personnel knowledge, and peace of mind. 

Compliance at JMU is decentralized.  Compliance activities are embedded in existing functions across campus.  The Compliance Coordinator is responsible for promoting an organizational culture that promotes ethical conduct, tracking and monitoring compliance functions across the university, and serving as a central point of contact for compliance training and resources.

The University Compliance Committee

The University Compliance Committee (UCC) is responsible for tracking and monitoring the university’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations, accreditation standards and contractual obligations.   Compliance committee members are appointed by each Vice President.  The UCC is co-chaired by the Compliance Coordinator and the Director of Internal Audit.  The Compliance Coordinator reports on compliance-related matters to the president and Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee of the Board of Visitors.   The UCC meets six to eight times per year.
