Compliance
To better serve Team USA athletes, carry out the values of the Olympic and Paralympic movements and abide by applicable rules and regulations, the USOPC and its member National Governing Bodies partner to fulfill obligations as leaders of the Olympic and Paralympic movements in the United States.
Pursuant to the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act, NGBs have agreed to comply with all conditions of membership as set forth by the USOPC's bylaws. Since 2018, the USOPC conducts reviews and produces compliance checklist reports for all NGBs on an annual basis, and audits reports every three years. Starting in 2021, NGBs will be audited every quad against the new NGB Audit Standards. These standards outline all memberships requirements in one place and will replace the checklists to allow a more streamlined process of review.
