Risk and Compliance

Everyone at Charles Sturt University has a responsibility to assure their activities, this is the process of continuous improvement and quality enhancement of all that we do.

In the Risk and Compliance Unit we establish some of the policies, procedures, tools and mechanisms that provide confirmation and confidence for the achievement of objectives: from University Strategy to front line operational plans of business units.

The Risk and Compliance Unit is responsible for the complementary assurance (or second line) function for enterprise risk and compliance. We provide advice, support, and monitoring for continuous improvement, in relation to risk management and compliance.

Our primary responsibilities include:

  • Establishing and maintaining the University’s frameworks and mechanisms for Risk Management and Resilience
  • Developing internal capability across our diverse workforce in the application of contemporary and robust risk management and compliance business practices.
  • Advising on compliance issues and action items
  • Providing guidance in relation to changes in internal policies and the legislative and regulatory environments
  • Assisting areas across the University to improve compliance and risk management mechanisms
  • Maintaining the risk appetite statement, enterprise action register and legislative compliance database
  • Reporting on risk and compliance activities, metrics and emerging risks to University Committees and Senior Management.
  • Participating in Committees, working parties and project groups.
