University Compliance Programs Need 3 Lines Of Defense
As a result of allegations of sexual misconduct and relationship violence on campuses over the past few years, universities are changing campus culture through the development of effective independent ethics and compliance programs. Bradley Dizik and Robert Roach outline the necessary lines of defense to ensure the overall effectiveness of the programs and maintain objectivity of internal audit processes.
Bradley L. Dizik

Bradley Dizik advises publicly held, private and not-for-profit institutions on integrity issues, including development and evaluation of ethics and compliance programs and related best practices, institutional structure and culture, risk oversight, board and committee structure, board and executive leadership, independent and internal investigations, and audits and assessments. Mr. Dizik is currently advising the President and Board of Regents of the University of Michigan on the implementation of internal controls and structural and cultural transformation efforts in response to its sexual misconduct crisis. He is also a key member of the team investigating and assessing the Southern Baptist Convention’s handling of sexual abuse allegations and related treatment of survivors and practice reform efforts.
