What occurs if a regulation is found to be non-compliant during an audit?

If a regulation is found to be non-compliant during an audit, it may be revised or repealed. This process ensures that regulations meet legal, ethical, and operational standards. When non-compliance is identified, the relevant authorities will typically assess the regulation to determine the necessary modifications to bring it back into compliance. This can involve amending the language, adjusting the implementation guidelines, or, in some cases, completely repealing the regulation if it is no longer deemed necessary or appropriate.

The focus on revision or repeal maintains the integrity of the regulatory framework by ensuring that only regulations that meet current laws and standards remain in effect. This process supports transparency and accountability within the regulatory environment, ultimately protecting the interests of the public and ensuring that regulations serve their intended purpose effectively.
