Working with External
Auditors
It is imperative that all faculty, staff and students comply with
all University policies, procedures, standards and guidelines. Stanford
is committed to its policy to fully comply with its obligations to
external agencies in connection with their audit and inspection rights.
Stanford will provide external auditors and inspectors access to all
documents and data to which they are entitled on a reasonably timely
basis, except those deemed by the University to be legally privileged
or protected. However, this process requires preparation and
cooperation by the external auditors and inspectors.

Use of Stanford's Name
Stanford registered trademarks, as well as other names, seals, logos
and other symbols that are representative of Stanford, may only be used
with the express permission of Stanford University. Stanford is known
internationally for excellence in teaching, research, medicine,
athletics, the arts and similar activities. Stanford's name and
associated seals and symbols represent the high caliber of the
University and are among the University's most valuable assets.Many of our commercial partners and vendors would like to use Stanford's name in their literature and on their web sites. Administrative Guide Memo 15.5, Ownership and Use of Stanford Name and Trademark, states that such permission must be expressly granted by authorized University Management. However, express permission is not required for use of Stanford's name as long as use meets the following guidelines:
- Stanford's name is included within a list of other customers
(Stanford cannot be the sole customer listed)
- There is no implied endorsement by Stanford (i.e. "Here is a list of satisfied clients.")
- Stanford is not highlighted in any manner (e.g. bigger font, red letters, first on the list, etc.)
- Stanford's logos and emblems are not used (e.g. Block S, Stanford Tree, Stanford Seal, etc.)
