In addition special audits are also carried out as per the risk perceived. Findings of audits, surveillances and  spot checks  are  followed  up  with  the  concerned  operator  for compliance. The observations are closed after due verification. Further the compliance of the action taken by the operator is verified during the next audit/surveillance. In  case  of  any  violations/non-compliance  to  regulations detected  during  audit/surveillance,  enforcement  action including financial penalty is imposed by the DGCA.
