Introduction
The purpose of BYU-Idaho's Institutional Compliance Program is to foster a culture of compliance consciousness into the daily activities of the University, and help ensure we meet or exceed all necessary legal and regulatory requirements, as well as internal University policies and procedures.
The basis for developing an institutional compliance program was derived from the U.S. Federal Sentencing Guidelines, originally established in 1987. The Guidelines list seven elements indicating what is considered an 'effective compliance and ethics program':
- Compliance standards and procedures (e.g., a code of conduct or ethics);
- Oversight by high-level personnel (e.g., a compliance or ethics officer and/or committee);
- Due care when delegating authority and responsibility;
- Effective communication of standards and procedures (e.g., training);
- Monitoring systems and reporting mechanisms;
- Enforcement of disciplinary mechanisms;
- Appropriate resonse after detection.
