Understand Regulatory Compliance in Public Sector

Regulatory Authorization Model

Government agencies issue licenses and permits to ensure that businesses and individuals adhere to the legal and regulatory requirements that pertain to the activities they perform. Public Sector provides a comprehensive regulatory framework that defines all of the compliance standards related to licenses and permits for the industries and constituents that you serve. You can also set up compliance standards and assessment measures for inspections that aren’t associated with a license or permit, such as code enforcement inspections.

The regulatory compliance framework includes the departments or agencies responsible for monitoring compliance, the regulatory codes that outline the specific compliance requirements, and the criteria that inspectors and reviewers use to assess compliance and report noncompliance.
