Higher Education Institutions are faced with an evolving and complex range of regulatory requirements, in addition to a high volume of best practice guidance from regulatory bodies, councils, institutes and partners. Regulatory compliance management plays an essential role in supporting academic and professional services departments to achieve excellence.
The Legal and Regulatory Affairs Team provides a proportionate and risk-based oversight of Imperial’s arrangements for meeting key statutory and regulatory compliance obligations within the Team’s remit. The Team works with the appropriate regulatory experts across the university to tackle actions required by Imperial to mitigate key regulatory risks and monitor ongoing compliance.
The Legal and Regulatory Affairs Team also provides assurance to University Management Board and the Audit and Risk Committee that appropriate actions have been taken to manage regulatory compliance risks.
The Legal and Regulatory Affairs Team can provide advice and support to staff on the following compliance matters:
- Information on Imperial’s existing regulatory requirements and what this means for your activity in practice;
- Identification, evaluation and management of significant regulatory compliance risks, including updating your compliance risks in Corestream;
- Emerging regulation and/or regulatory changes and how you can prepare for its implementation;
- Potential compliance issues which require escalation;
- Support with the development and implementation of compliance-related strategic projects;
- Advice and support with responses to regulatory consultations and requests.
