Delivering risk and compliance management for Stanford University

Founded in 1891 and located in Palo Alto, California, Stanford University is one of the leading research and teaching institutions in the United States. In this profile, Rick Moyer, the executive director of internal audit and institutional compliance, explains the leading role Stanford University takes in terms of corporate governance initiatives. Moyer describes the university as “leading-edge” in this area – the institution often adheres to governance standards “even when they don’t fully apply,” which is an expectation set by its board of directors.
