Collaboration/Coordination of Policy

Contributing to Clear, Consistent Policies

Financial Compliance plays an active role in UVA’s cross-functional Policy Committee—a standing group made up of representatives from major central administrative areas and policy users. As part of this collaborative team, we help review and refine draft policies to ensure they’re clear, practical, and aligned with existing guidance. By contributing our compliance perspective, we support the development of policies that are easier to understand, implement, and follow across the University.

Working Together to Support Accountability and Good Stewardship

Financial Compliance in UVAFinance works closely with UVA’s Office of Audit & Compliance to promote a culture of accountability, collaboration, and effective risk management across the University. While the Office of Audit & Compliance provides independent assurance, policy guidance, and oversight through institutional compliance and internal audit functions, the UVAFinance Compliance team takes a more integrated, consultative approach—helping departments strengthen internal controls, align with policies, and manage risk in practical ways.

Together, our teams are not here to “catch mistakes,” but to partner with schools and units to support smart decision-making, protect University resources, and enable success. We’re all working toward the same goal: helping UVA thrive while doing things the right way.
