(a) Compliance monitoring is performed by the compliance monitoring manager who should ensure that the activities of the organisation are monitored for compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements, and that these activities are carried out properly under the supervision of other relevant nominated postholders and line managers.
(b) The compliance monitoring manager is responsible for ensuring that the compliance monitoring programme is properly implemented, maintained, and continually reviewed and improved; to that end, they should be able to demonstrate relevant knowledge of the U-space framework and experience in the services provided, as well as in compliance monitoring.
(c) The compliance monitoring manager may perform all audits and inspections themselves or appoint one or more auditors by choosing personnel that have the related competencies, either from within or outside the service provider. Regardless of the option chosen, the independence of the audit function should not be affected in the case where those that perform the audit or inspection are also responsible for other activities within the organisation.
(d) In the case where compliance audits and inspection tasks are assigned to external personnel, compliance monitoring is performed under the responsibility of the compliance monitoring manager who remains responsible for ensuring that the external personnel have the relevant knowledge, background and experience as appropriate to the activities being audited or inspected, including knowledge of and experience in compliance monitoring.
(e) The organisation retains the ultimate responsibility for the effectiveness of the compliance monitoring function, as well as for the effective implementation of and follow-up to all corrective actions.
U-space service providers must implement compliance monitoring managed by a designated manager. This manager ensures regulatory compliance through audits and inspections, maintaining independence even with external auditors. The organization is ultimately responsible for the effectiveness of compliance monitoring and corrective actions.
