Once the compliance training is over, the external auditors must run an audit for the organization where employees depicting ethical behavior must be rewarded and if there are any gaps that are identified; measure should be taken to bridge it.

The process of carrying out this compliance process must be open so that everyone understands the meaning of it and comprehends in the language that the corporate wants them to comprehend. Corporate values must be shared with employees at a regular basis in both formal as well as informal fashion.
