A common type of assessment is termed ―statutory and regulatory compliance audit.‖ While the
auditors may be trained and informed in the relevant materials and documents, they need to be
careful to avoid going beyond their competence in their reporting. For statutory issues,
interpretation of laws is often required and can be viewed as the domain of lawyers who are
members of the bar. Typically, determination of regulatory compliance lies solely in the domain of
persons who are formally recognized by the regulatory agency as being competent to interpret
regulations developed by statutory authorities, for example, OSHA, the EPA, the Department of
Transportation (DOT), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA). Auditors may be qualified as technical subject matter experts (SMEs) but
lack appropriate recognitions by interested bodies.
Comments: Send a Lawyer to the pipeline construction area to deals on the Department of
