Given the close monitoring, heavy regulation, and big stakes involved in complying with rules surrounding government-sponsored research, audits can be useful tools in gauging whether appropriate processes and controls are in place in areas such as proper administration of federal funds and management of intellectual property. Violations of deemed export rules, accusations of wrongdoing, and allegations of fraud can lead to not only potential fines and penalties as well as PR nightmares, they can bring on contentious relationships with internal and external auditors. Even the hint of a compliance problem can breed an “us against them” mentality.
That’s why we’ve scheduled a practical webinar featuring two compliance experts, who will provide step-by-step guidance in handling audits of critical compliance processes and keeping your institution clear of fines, penalties, and negative PR. Sponsored Research Compliance: Best Practices for Working with Auditors will be held on Thursday, December 6, featuring sponsored research compliance experts Raina Rose Tagle and Adrienne Larmett of Baker Tilly. They’ll discuss the role and objectives of internal and external audit functions, and provide specific ideas and guidance for leveraging the audit process to help your department and your institution.
