The University of California’s Office of Ethics, Compliance and Audit Services(ECAS) develops and administers the compliance and audit programs for the UC system, reinforcing “the University’s duty to perform its public responsibilities in an ethical and compliance-based environment where applicable legal, regulatory, Regental and Presidential policies are followed and in which the public trust is maintained.”
What We Do
ECAS is responsible for coordinating audit, compliance and investigations efforts across the system. This work relies heavily on coordinated efforts with audit and compliance partners embedded within each of the ten campuses, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), the UC Office of the President (UCOP), the Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR), and UC academic medical centers. This shared effort allows the system to leverage the expertise throughout the system, identify opportunities to strengthen our compliance and risk management, and design improvements in a measured and proactive manner.
Why The Symposium Matters
ECAS works closely with the campuses, medical centers and national laboratory in identifying shared risk priorities. This collective effort allows the University of California to identify best practices, address emerging issues that may impact the University, and ensure compliance with regulatory and policy requirements.
The UC Ethics, Compliance and Audit Symposium seeks to promote these collaborations by creating an environment where existing and emergent compliance, audit, and investigative priorities are shared and discussed. You will have an opportunity to attend in-person sessions led by respected compliance, legal, risk and audit professionals, as well as federal and industry partners, on a range of topics and engage in discussions with colleagues across the UC system.
