Compliance Guidelines

Thank you for familiarising yourself with the FH Aachen Compliance Guide. Firstly, a few introductory words on the background and structure.

You will receive an overview of compliance topics and information on possible pitfalls in everyday university life.

The guide offers practical guidance by:

  • Focussing on the concerns of North Rhine-Westphalian universities
  • Internal coordination with the respective specialist departments
  • Links to contact persons
  • Links to relevant and/or helpful documents, sources, etc.
  • References to interfaces and cross-cutting issues

Variety of topics and focus

There are a number of topics that could be covered in a compliance guide. These are complex and varied, and new ones are constantly being added. To make it easier for you to get started, the selection is limited to topics that are associated with risks and regularly raise questions in practice.

 

Structure of the guidelines

The topics are presented as chapters in the guide. These are deliberately kept short and are always structured as follows:

  • Fundamentals
  • Responsibilities
  • Internal contact persons
  • (Legal) principles
  • Further information
  • Tips for everyday university life

After logging in, you will have access to the individual topics and a complete print version.

Successive expansion

Further chapters will be gradually added to the compliance guide and updated in line with the current state of knowledge.

First and foremost, the guide is intended to support you. If you have any suggestions or ideas for topics, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The same applies if you notice any errors, for example in links.
