The audit program, consisting of audit
procedures and guidelines, is developed to conduct random audits.
The random audits are conducted on the carriers that use numbering
resources in order to verify the accuracy of numbering data
reported on FCC Form 502, and to monitor compliance with FCC rules,
orders and applicable industry guidelines. Failure of the audited
carrier to respond to the audits can result in penalties. Based on
the final audit report, evidence of potential violations may result
in enforcement action.
