Objective
Registration Management Committee (RMC)

• How to determine what will be applicable


when auditing/audit planning for an
organization
• What are Statutory Regulations
• Export Control/EAR/ITAR introduction
• FAA Regulations
• Rules of Thumb for auditors

Company Confidential
Regulations
Registration Management Committee (RMC)

• Definition of Statutory Regulations:


• Relating to a statute, which is a formal written enactment
of a legislative authority that governs a state, city, or country.
Typically, statutes command or prohibit something, or declare
policy. The word is often used to distinguish law made by
legislative bodies from case law and the regulations issued by
government agencies.
• Before a statute becomes law in some countries, it must be
agreed upon by the highest executive in the government, and
finally published as part of a code. In many countries, statutes
are organized in topical arrangements (or “codified”) within
publications called codes, such as the United States Code.

Regulations

• Statutory Regulations Example:


• The Sarbanes Oxley Act, commonly called SOX, sets forth records
management and retention policies for all public companies. SOX
was enacted in 2002 in response to corporate scandals involving
large, public corporations and their accounting firms.
• The vast majority of organizations use email to communicate
internally and as a vehicle for the exchange of documents and
correspondence between businesses and their outside
consultants, accounting and auditing firms. Since these
communications often contain information about business
transactions and decisions, these email communications must be
retained for an organization to comply with the provisions of SOX.
There are other sections of SOX that provide requirements as well.

maintaining the chemical, physical, and biological
integrity of the Waters of the United States
– Water quality standards
A system of minimum national effluent standards for each
industry
A permit program for the discharge of pollutants into
navigable waters, provides enforcement mechanisms
A revolving construction loan program (Clean Water State
Revolving Fund (CWSRF) , formerly a grant program) for
publicly-owned treatment works (POTWs) and funding to

– Companies should be aware of their export
control status of both their categories/items
and the status of the individuals and
companies in terms of whom they are sharing
the data.

the data by the certification body if a set plan
is in place.

Company Confidential
Auditors
Registration Management Committee (RMC)

National Security.
– (2) Violation could stop the certification body from
working with restricted data.
– (3) Penalties or fines can hurt the business and
business brand name could be damaged in public
eye sight. Penalties are public record.
– (4) Auditors, companies, and customers might lose
confidence in the certification body.

can hurt business.

Company Confidential
Auditors
Registration Management Committee (RMC)

• Rule of Thumb 5:
– Prior to and at the beginning the audit, the
lead auditor may speak to the Supplier to
ensure that the Supplier shall identify
specifications, processes, and drawings
(referred to as “auditable material” which are
restricted under the ITAR and EAR).
– The Supplier shall contact the owner of any
information for clarification when unsure about
whether information is export controlled under
ITAR or EAR.

Company Confidential
Auditors
Registration Management Committee (RMC)

• Rule of Thumb 6:
• The auditor role is not to remind the Supplier
of ITAR and EAR obligation. The company
should be aware of obligations it is not the
auditor role to make the company aware.
• The Auditor shall not be held liable for any
unauthorized transfer of restricted data,
unless such auditor knew or should have
known of the restricted nature of the data.

Company Confidential
Auditors
Registration Management Committee (RMC)

• Rule of Thumb 7:
• The Auditor receives direction from
certification body on how to deal with ITAR
and EAR. Some bodies will restrict access to
the auditor and of course how the
information is recorded is restricted.
• Additional information can be discussed
during the opening meeting in-brief if
needed.

Company Confidential
Auditors
Registration Management Committee (RMC)

• Rule of Thumb 8:
• Auditors check with the certification body on
restriction on posting ITAR/EAR. Typically
material should not removed from the
supplier facility by the auditor.
• Contact the certification body or staff for
direction if objective evidence is necessary to
support the audit.

Company Confidential
Registration Management Committee (RMC) Auditors

• Rule of Thumb 9:
– Some Certification bodies may be vigilant to
comply with this U.S. law and avoid review of
any ITAR/EAR material.
– As an auditor you should check with your
certification body on the requirements.

Company Confidential
Auditors
Registration Management Committee (RMC)

• Rule of Thumb 10:


– Auditors should be aware of restricted technical
data and how it is to be handled while auditing.
– Typically technical data is password protected from
foreign persons such as hardcopy data, copies, are
secured to prevent access by Foreign Persons.
– Company should identify any restricted technical
data.
– Means of knowing the US person status of all
employees, consultants, or anyone who can obtain
access to restricted technical data in the system
should be readily viable.

Company Confidential
Auditors
Registration Management Committee (RMC)

• Rule of Thumb 11:


– Certification bodies should have a system to purge
restricted technical data once discovered in the
system.
– Restricted data much be identify/described clearly.
– Some certification bodies communicate to the
customer that no restricted data can be collected as
part of the audit.
– Certification bodies sometimes train auditors not to
document restricted technical data as part of the
audit.

Company Confidential
Auditors
Registration Management Committee (RMC)

• Rule of Thumb 12:


– Two basic techniques:
» The Certification body will prohibit restricted
data from entering into the system.
» The Certification body will control access within
the system.

Company Confidential
Auditors
Registration Management Committee (RMC)

• Rule of Thumb 13:


– What should you as an auditor tell customers?
» OFFER NO ADVICE
– Auditors should follow the rules, policies, and
procedures at the company in place they are

parent certification body can’t vouch or didn’t
provide proof of citizenship just in case to
safe guard stopping an audit.

Company Confidential
Registration Management Committee (RMC) Auditors
• Rule of Thumb 15:
• Auditors can address the subject of export control in
opening meeting in-brief.
• Their status (as a US Person or as a Foreign Person)
and what that means to the audit.
• Expectation that customer will control access to
restricted data accordingly.
• Certification body procedures if there is a problem.
• Certification body policy on data retention or purging
if applicable.

Company Confidential
Auditors
Registration Management Committee (RMC)

• Foreign Persons employed by the certification


body may be restricted from access of
technical data.
• This approach is used whenever the
certification body accepts responsibility and
retains restricted technical data in their
system during audit reporting or record
keeping.

Company Confidential
Auditable Material
Registration Management Committee (RMC)

• If auditable material is under the ITAR and


EAR, the supplier may either:
– Limit the audit to auditable material not
restricted under ITAR and EAR.
– Work with certification body staff to provide
and discuss appropriate auditable material, so
that the staff can provide appropriate direction
to restricted auditors or; and
– request an unrestricted auditor.

Company Confidential
Material
Registration Management Committee (RMC)

• ITAR/EAR Material - How to Recognize?

process findings without revealing technical
data restricted by ITAR/EAR data in the write-
up.

Company Confidential
Keys
Registration Management Committee (RMC)

• Key 2
– Auditors need to understand not to give any
kind of advice on defense service or technical
advice.

such as PMA? When were the last time you were audited by
government such as FAA or DOD what were the findings, do
you still have the delegation of such TSO or PMA or you
suspended, do you have any letter of enforcement issued
and have you corrected the all the findings? Did the
government audit effect the certification body audit? I
noticed you relocated your facility have you given FAA notice
if so I would like to see the notice?
