Evaluation of compliance 8

The system has been designed to enable applicable legal and other
requirements to be identified and controls put in place to ensure ongoing
compliance. This has to be checked to see how well this is happening.
Therefore there is a need for:
Periodic evaluation of compliance with legislation
Periodic evaluation of compliance with other requirements

Discuss what sort of information and methods might be

used to enable this to be done.
What would be the outcome of this evaluation?
