The June 17, 2021 Order required that the Export Compliance Audit cover the 12-month period after the June 17, 2021 Order and be in substantial compliance with the Export Compliance Program sample audit module published by BIS. To the extent USGoBuy identified any violations of the Regulations through the Audit, the June 17, 2021 Order required USGoBuy to promptly provide supporting documentation related to the violations and a detailed plan of corrective actions to be taken.
