PMP · Question 60 · Task 1: Plan and manage project compliance

A project manager is leading a project that requires compliance with multiple regulatory frameworks. During a compliance audit, the auditor identifies several areas where the project documentation doesn't fully meet regulatory requirements, even though the actual work practices are compliant. The gaps are in documentation format and completeness rather than substance. What should the project manager do?

Answer options:

A.

Continue with current practices since the actual work is compliant

B.

Address the documentation gaps immediately to ensure full regulatory compliance

C.

Negotiate with the auditor to accept the current documentation format

D.

Document the audit findings and address them in the next project phase

How to approach this question

Regulatory compliance requires both proper practices AND proper documentation. Documentation gaps constitute compliance failures that need immediate attention.

Full Answer

B.Address the documentation gaps immediately to ensure full regulatory compliance✓ Correct
Regulatory compliance encompasses both proper practices and proper documentation. Documentation gaps can result in compliance failures even when actual practices are correct, requiring immediate remediation.

Common mistakes

Thinking that compliant practices are sufficient without proper documentation, trying to negotiate regulatory requirements, or delaying compliance remediation.
