3.4 Ensuring Appropriate Resources to Deliver the Oversight Institution's Role
In developing your strategic framework and setting out your vision and objectives, you will need to consider about how you will deliver that strategy.
3.3.2 Enforcement
Where an investigation identifies a breach, and the responsibility for taking enforcement action lies with the oversight body, you should have a separate process to consider the facts of the case, take into account all relevant factors, and reach a decision on the appropriate enforcement action.
3.3.1 Investigations
The purpose of an investigation should always be to establish the facts in order to reach a view on the evidence. It should not be based on any desire to prove anyone is innocent or guilty, and not assume, or care, what the facts will prove to be.
3.3 Handling Issues of Non-Compliance
The nature of the rules and the mechanisms for dealing with rule breaking vary from country to country depending on whether the law provides for criminal or administrative approaches and whether you have the power to conduct investigations, impose civil sanctions and/or bring criminal prosecutions.

An audit is an examination of the contribution and expenditure documentation, banking statements and other financial records of a submitting entity to assess compliance with existing auditing standards.
