Recurring audits are a fundamental requirement in corporate governance and regulatory compliance in both Brazil and the USA. In Brazil, they are mandated by tax authorities (Receita Federal) and CVM (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários) for public companies. In the USA, they are required by the SEC and various financial oversight bodies. The practice reflects international standards (GAAS and IFAS) and is considered best practice for organizational transparency and stakeholder confidence.
