Loss of reputation due to academic issues is a significant risk to all universities. This is a self-assessment audit tool for risks related to academic and research fraud in higher education. This checklist can be used by all Senior Managers, Heads of Academic Units and Administrators to maximise the likelihood of positive outcomes from university teaching, learning and research projects.

This checklist is generic and may not be suitable for all academic or research applications. It is recommended that each institution or academic unit utilising this checklist, employ modifications to ensure it is appropriate for their individual circumstances.
