PREA Compliance Auditing
PREA Audit Methodology
DOJ-Certified PREA Audit Process
A disciplined, step-by-step methodology is essential for maintaining federal standards and safeguarding individuals in custody. Rising Sun Auditing Service offers dual-certified audits, readiness assessments, and corrective action support to ensure your facility achieves full PREA compliance.
Process Overview
Our PREA audit is completed in four structured steps:
Step 1 – First, we conduct an Initial Consultation
Step 2 – Next, we perform an On‑site Assessment
Step 3 – Then, we generate a comprehensive Report
Step 4 – Finally, we provide Follow‑up & Support
Together, these steps provide a disciplined, DOJ‑certified approach that clarifies your facility's compliance status and enables practicable, actionable next steps.
Step 1:
Initial Consultation
The initial step focus on preliminary data review and strategic planning. This phase establishes the audit scope and timeline, ensuring all necessary documentation is gathered to facilitate a thorough and professional evaluation of the facility's adherence to federal PREA standards.
Step 2:
On-site Assessment
During this step, the auditor performs onsite inspections, operational reviews, and private interviews with staff and individuals in custody. This stage validates the practical application of policies and evaluates physical safety measures to confirm that all facility operations adhere strictly to the mandate of federal PREA regulations and safety protocols.
Step 3: Report Generation
This step involves a formal evaluation of evidence to produce a comprehensive Audit Report. This document clarifies compliance status for each standard, detailing strengths and necessary corrective actions. RSAS delivers these objective findings to facility leadership to satisfy federal reporting requirements and support long-term operational integrity.
Step 4: Follow-Up & Support
After delivering the report, we remain available to clarify findings, support the development of corrective action plans, and offer ongoing guidance to help your facility sustain PREA compliance over time.
