As faculty, you play a key role in Employee Compensation Compliance (ECC) because you know your sponsored projects best. By certifying project statements, you confirm that salary charges match your effort and meet compliance requirements. This helps protect research integrity, reduce audit risk, and ensure responsible use of sponsor funds.
