Risk, Audit & Compliance Committee

The Risk, Audit, and Compliance (RAC) committee’s primary goals are to assess whether the laboratory employs sound processes to (1) comprehensively identify, prioritize, and monitor its risks; (2) determine when and how to mitigate, transfer, accept, or avoid risks; and (3) encourage a self-critical, accountable, and learning organization. The RAC oversees the effectiveness of SLAC’s contractor assurance system, among other things, including the following: 

• processes for identifying critical enterprise risks and mitigations,
• ethics and compliance,
• audits, assessments, and issues management programs,
• sustained lessons learned and continual improvement programs, and
• processes for identifying and tracking other risks and metrics that have the potential to significantly impact overall laboratory performance.
