Compliance Guidelines
Thank you for familiarising yourself with the FH Aachen Compliance Guidelines. 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 guidelines offer practical guidance through:
- focussing on the interests of North Rhine-Westphalian universities
- internal coordination with the respective specialist sections and departments
- providing links to contact persons
- providing links to relevant and/or helpful documents, sources, etc.
- references to interfaces
Variety of Topics and Focal Points
There is a wide range of topics that could be covered in Compliance Guidelines. 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
In these guidelines, each topic is presented as a chapter. These are deliberately kept short and are always structured as follows:
- Basics
- Responsibilities
- Internal contact persons
- (Legal) basis
- Further information
- Tips for everyday university life
After logging in, you will have access to the individual topics and the complete print version.
Focus on Important Aspects
Focussing on important aspects within the chapters is intended to improve readability. At the same time, this means that the mention of particularly relevant content and regulations cannot be exhaustive. Furthermore, not everyone is equally affected by all topics. Depending on their area of responsibility and function, each individual should obtain further information on the topics, even beyond the Compliance Guidelines.
Successive Expansion
Over time, further chapters will be added to the Compliance Guidelines and updated in line with the current state of knowledge.
First and foremost, these guidelines are 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.
