Recurring internal auditors are performed throughout the year. An external audit is conducted by an independent auditor annually, including looking at areas of conflict of interest (COI). MVH's Compliance Officer maintains a list of employees whose job responsibilities may subject them to COI. The Compliance Officer conducts annual compliance trainings to explain and educate on COI. MVH has a 24 hour, toll free compliance hotline that staff or public may report concerns and issues, including COI.
