Auditoría de cumplimiento en el sistema de justicia penal

Explicación Simple

Cada año, se revisa si los informes de casos penales han sido correctamente registrados. Si falta información, los abogados y las cortes tienen que enviarla en un plazo específico.

Es como cuando en una escuela se revisa si todos los estudiantes entregaron sus tareas. Si alguien no lo hizo, el maestro les recuerda que deben entregarlas pronto.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan fue arrestado por un delito y su caso está en la corte. Si después de nueve meses no se ha recibido un informe sobre su situación, la corte y el fiscal recibirán un recordatorio para que envíen la información faltante para que el caso avance.
