Drata, a leader in offering continuous compliance automation platforms, revealed its Audit Alliance Program Code of Ethics.

Audit firms are critical to the governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) sector, as high-quality audits help enterprises comply with stringent regulatory prerequisites, develop stakeholder confidence, and maintain customer trust. The intricacy of regulatory environments and meeting ethical standards has amplified the demand for trustworthy audits, as businesses face growing scrutiny. Drata led the initiative by designing the Code of Ethics to improve the partnership between GRC tools and audit firms, partly by helping independent audits and nurturing robust relationships with auditors to maintain outstanding standards of ethics and professionalism. The Code of Ethics pledge has over 40 initial members, such as A-LIGN, Marcum, and Aprio, among many others.
