Welcome
to the Office of Audit, Compliance and Privacy (OACP) web site.
As our name indicates we provide services in three distinct
yet related disciplines, audit, compliance,
and privacy, in support
of the vision to propel the University of Pennsylvania from
excellence to eminence in all our core endeavors of teaching,
research, and service.
The
Office of Audit, Compliance and Privacy serves the University
and Penn Medicine by upholding the highest professional standards;
recruiting, training and developing future managers for the
institution; providing high quality, cost effective audit
and management services; and communicating value-added outcomes
to the Board of Trustees and senior management.
On
our website you can find information about our various services
in the audit, compliance and privacy arenas, meet the staff
that provide these services, training opportunities, advisories
and frequently asked questions. You will also learn about
internal controls, the importance of privacy and security
and protecting sensitive information, compliance awareness
and education opportunities and you can educate yourself on
the many facets of research administration -all topics which
are important to the continued success of Penn. We invite
you to browse various “best practice” guidance
materials and links to other helpful resources.
We
hope we have provided the information you sought when coming
to our virtual home, if not, please contact us via the “contact
