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 penalities. Based on the final audit report, evidence of potential violations may result in enforcement action.
