Internal audits should be on your list of quarterly and annual activities. Why audit so regularly? First of all, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) expect you to audit as a part of a complete compliance program. But, more importantly, internal audits allow you to gauge how your compliance-related operations are living up to meeting goals, metrics and strategic contributions to the company. Ultimately, auditing allows you to evaluate and control risk for your company.
