Compliance investigations is a form of internal audit. The goal of these types of internal investigations is to identify any potential regulatory compliance issues within an organization so they can be addressed prior to becoming violations of law. These investigations allow an organization to determine if there are any gaps in its current systems which could lead to regulatory or criminal penalties by a given regulatory or law enforcement agency. Companies can use this information to improve the overall effectiveness of their compliance programs, security policies, and/or legal systems.   Strategically, compliance investigations can help an organization understand the regulatory landscape of a specific industry by identifying potential compliance issues prior to a merger or acquisition.
