How frequently may additional audits be conducted after the baseline audit?

After establishing a baseline audit, additional audits are typically conducted at intervals that allow organizations to effectively monitor compliance and improve practices over time. The selected frequency of quarterly, biannually, or annually provides a balanced approach to oversight and performance evaluation.

Conducting audits quarterly allows for more immediate feedback and adjustments in processes, while biannual or annual audits can help assess the long-term effectiveness of changes made after the baseline audit. This range of options also considers the resources available for conducting these audits; more frequent audits require more staffing and time.

In contrast, some of the other choices suggest a more restrictive schedule or less flexibility, which might not provide the continuous oversight necessary for effective improvement. Therefore, the choice of quarterly, biannually, or annually reflects a comprehensive strategy for ongoing evaluation and enhancement of processes after initial auditing.
