COMPLIANCE PROGRAM & REPORTING NON-COMPLIANCE


INSTITUTIONAL COMPLIANCE PROGRAM

The UTSA Compliance Program reflects the commitment of UTSA to maintain the highest ethical standards and to comply with all applicable laws, policies, rules and regulations.

To be in compliance means to adhere to all laws, rules, and policies that apply to your job. You are not responsible for knowing all the laws and policies that apply to UTSA. You are responsible, however, for knowing and following the laws and policies that apply to you and your job at UTSA.

The Director of Institutional Compliance is responsible for the administration of the university’s Institutional Compliance Program, and the Executive Director of Audit, Compliance and Risk Services is the Compliance Officer. The Executive Compliance Committee provides oversight for the program.

REPORTING SUSPECTED NON-COMPLIANCE
Employee concerns and/or issues of suspected non-compliance should be addressed through normal administrative channels whenever possible. However, UTSA employees may use the Hotline (by phone or by Internet) for reporting issues of suspected non-compliance.

The Hotline is administered by a company that is unaffiliated with UTSA and acts as a neutral third party to accurately document the issues reported and forward them immediately to the appropriate individuals at UTSA for resolution.

How do I know if I am doing the right thing? Ask yourself these questions.
  • Is the action in compliance with university policies and procedures?
  • Is the action legal?
  • How will it look in the newspaper?

If you are still not sure what to do, ask your supervisor or contact the Office of Institutional Compliance and Risk Services (210) 458-4992.
