On-Site Inspection
An in-person examination conducted by regulatory or supervisory authorities at the premises of an organization to verify compliance.
An on-site inspection is a form of regulatory scrutiny where officials physically visit an organization to assess its compliance with laws and regulations.
During these inspections, officials may review documents, interview staff, and examine facilities to ensure adherence to regulatory standards. Non-compliance discovered during an on-site inspection can lead to significant penalties.
Organizations are often required to prepare for on-site inspections by maintaining accurate records and ensuring that operational procedures are in line with regulatory requirements.
