The EPA adopted an Audit Policy titled “Incentives for Self-Policing: Discovery, Correction, and Prevention of Violations” in 2000. This policy provides incentives for companies that voluntarily come into compliance with federal environmental laws and regulations. “To take advantage of these incentives, regulated entities must voluntarily discover, promptly disclose to EPA, expeditiously correct, and prevent recurrence of future environmental violations,” according to the EPA’s Audit Policy.
There are several steps that companies must take to be eligible for benefits.
It is important to note that repeat violations are ineligible for Audit Policy benefits.
