The Role of Audit and Monitoring in Compliance
Internal audit and monitoring functions are important to an organization's ability to design and implement an effective compliance program. Although each function has a distinct mandate, both contribute to the organization's ability to understand its compliance risks, tailor its compliance program to those risks, and continually reassess and improve its internal controls to respond to an ever-changing compliance landscape. Ultimately, the presence, empowerment, and performance of these functions contribute to sentencing and post-event outcomes.
