Annual Attestations
Annual attestation is the process to ensure compliance to University’s Individual Financial Conflict of Interest Policy 1-006. This policy requires employees to file a financial disclosure to report whether they have any external financial relationships (that reasonably appear to be related to their professional responsibilities to the university), so that potential financial conflicts of interest can be properly identified.
The online disclosure form is completed in the Business Relationship Reporting System. It is due at the start of fall semester each year and should be kept up to date. See more information at https://COI.utah.edu/annual-attestation.php.
A disclosure should be filed even if there is nothing to report. An updated disclosure
is needed if you haven’t filed since July 1, 2025.
Compliance (Annual Attestation) Tab: for all leadership
- Department Heads and other leadership have access to the “Compliance (Annual Attestation)” tab within the BRR site. This provides an overview of the unit’s attestation status. Your view is tailored to your role in the organization structure.
- Additional personnel can be granted access to the dashboard (as determined by those Department Heads) if other support within the group is needed to assist in compliance monitoring. File an ORIS ticket or request the “Compliance Champion” role from COI@utah.edu.
- Data for primary department/appointment is managed by Human Resources (HR). Please contact your HR representative if you have questions or to request an update. Data is synced monthly, but users can still file a BRR disclosure while those updates are pending (the user should change their current supervisor on the Certification page in BRR, if supervisor name is required).
