Compliance Audit Returns (CAR)

Periodic audit filings submitted to the NDPC via licensed bodies.

Definition

Structured audit reports required under GAID that designated controllers/processors (particularly DCPMIs) must file with the NDPC, documenting compliance status, RoPA integration, identified gaps, and corrective action plans. GAID prescribes CAR templates, filing cycles, and the submission pathway through licensed DPCOs to enable regulatory monitoring and comparability.
