Compliance . . .
Institutional compliance at MCG is the responsibility of a number of different organizations with institutional oversight residing under the Compliance Oversight Council (COC). The COC is made up from members of MCG’s executive management and appointed by the President. The COC’s chair (Director of Institutional Audit and Compliance) will be the designated position to: coordinate the COC’s efforts; coordinate and monitor, as necessary, other MCG campus compliance efforts, collect annual compliance information and assemble a institutional compliance report, as well as coordinate and track the MCG/MCGHI/PPG compliance hotline issues.
Within
these different institution organizations, not only is it the responsibility of
that entity to ensure that their respective employees are aware of and in
compliance with their respective guidelines, regulations, laws, etc., but that
the entire MCG campus is aware, educated and complying with those same
compliance issues. The COC was charged with surveying the campus to determine
the compliance risks on campus and to complete the
compliance matrix.
The matrix initiative was to develop a compliance oversight plan that connects different components, coordinates their operations, and represents MCG’s institutional perspective. The goals of the initiative were to:
- Coordinate MCG’s compliance assurance activities (laws, regulations, contractual requirements)
- Ensure the institutional perspective is always present
- Assess existing programs against elements of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and improve as necessary the compliance matrix
- Implement “early warning” program for emerging compliance issues
- Carry out specific compliance support activities
At this time, the COC meets quarterly and will be responsible for submitting an annual campus compliance report to the President beginning in fiscal year 2005.
In conjunction with MCGHI and PPG, the campus is part of the operation of a compliance hotline to provide assistance for reporting of non-compliance (anonymity optional) or for asking questions regarding compliance issues.
