Compliance Audit
A compliance audit is a formal review of an organization’s procedures and operations mainly focusing on whether an entity is complying with internal rules, regulations, policies, decisions, and procedures. An audit report will cover the resilience of compliance preparations, security policies, risk management processes, and user access controls observed during the audit.
Compliance auditing, either internal or external, can help a company identify weaknesses in regulatory compliance processes and create paths for improvement. In some cases, guidance provided by a compliance audit can help reduce risk, while also avoiding potential legal trouble or federal fines for noncompliance.
