This questionnaire can serve as the starting point for assessing an organization's compliance in a variety of areas, including corporate governance, quality systems, anti-fraud programs and business ethics.

Sample questions include: Are your company’s governance compliance efforts organized to move ahead of the reform process, or are you constantly concerned with keeping up? Is the relationship with the CEO and with management working effectively in an environment of openness and trust? Do the quality personnel have the authority to stop production if quality requirements are not being met? Is the anti-fraud program reinforced regularly by the tone from the top?
