Conflicts of Interest
A conflict of interest arises when an employee's personal interests could influence—or appear to influence—their judgment in carrying out their University responsibilities. Depending on the specific circumstances, conflicts are governed by a range of different laws, policies, and UVA departments. Use the Conflicts of Interest page to identify the guidance most relevant to your situation and/or the offices that are best able to answer your specific questions.

UVA Compliance Helpline
To inform the University of any unethical behavior or policy violation, you may use the UVA Compliance Helpline to submit a report securely and confidentially (and anonymously, if desired). You may also call 800-235-8700 to reach a call center that is supported by a third party vendor and staffed 24/7 by compliance professionals. Through either channel, the UVA Compliance Office will receive your Helpline submission and will work with the relevant office to appropriately and respectfully investigate your concern.
Compliance Policy
The University’s institutional compliance program provides oversight of individual compliance requirements in specific functions of the University. University leadership is responsible for establishing and overseeing compliance programs within functional areas and reporting significant issues to the Assistant Vice President for Compliance. The University’s compliance efforts are evaluated through the services of external and internal auditors and government regulators, as well as periodic assessments by management.
Compliance Matrix
The University of Virginia's commitment to compliance is supported by over 100 functional specialists who manage our alignment with dynamic and complex regulations. For questions about a specific area, the Compliance Matrix offers a comprehensive list of contacts in the Academic Division, the Health System, and the College at Wise.
