Institutional structure
The Office of Integrity & Compliance operates as a direct extension of the Internal Control and Audit Unit, which reports to the Board of Trustees of Al-Ahliyya Amman University. This structural placement supports the independence of the office from executive management and strengthens impartial investigation of compliance matters and ethics-related concerns across the institution.
The office mandate was formally established through a Board of Trustees decision that extended the role of the Internal Control and Audit Unit to include institutional integrity, academic compliance, and ethics governance across all university functions.
