Recognize a Compliance Champion
Give a shout-out on the Compliance Bright Spots bulletin board to someone who helps colleagues understand a requirement, improves a process, supports accessibility, protects university information, asks a good question, raises a concern, or helps create an environment where people feel comfortable doing the right thing.

Bright Spots Bulletin

REMEMBER: if anything comes to your attention that looks or feels suspicious, talk to your supervisor, and in the case of a possible crime, law enforcement. If you don’t feel comfortable going to your supervisor, utilize the confidential and anonymous UA Confidential Hotline to report.
