COMP - COURT ORDERED MONITORING PROGRAM
The Court Ordered Monitoring
Program extends the capability of a Court, regulatory agenc y or litigant(s) to
acquire specific information about a matter in contention or to monitor a situation prior to, or as part of, an Order. The COMP
is a modified ECP with additional procedures and modifications to meet the
unique needs of monitoring an organization when in litigation or regulatory
action.
It consists of an independent
group that is placed in an organization's facilities to outreach, investigate
and report back on the subject-matter established for the COMP. Who knows better
than employees whether an organization is acting or failing to act in an
appropriate manner?
The program is available for
three groups:
Regulatory Agencies
This program provides
increased flexibility by extending the compliance capability for regulatory
monitoring. The COMP allows the Agency to monitor through an independent, non-governmental,
group on a daily basis. In this way an Agency can provide greater assurance of
compliance on a timely basis. The program is also designed so that the respondent
bears the expense as a condition of the Order.
Courts
When a case requires more than
an Auditor or Investigator’s findings, a Court has the option of implementing
a COMP. The program would give a “non-threatening” means for disclosing
facts or conditions through the organization’s employees.
This can also augment the function of a Special Master.
Litigants
Both parties (or ex parte) in
litigation can agree to implement
the program for relevant purposes, e.g., class action discrimination suit
requires monitoring before Order dismissed. For this and other purposes, an
impartial entity monitoring an organization's employees can add greater
assurances to litigants.
