Sec. 18.541  Compliance reviews.

    (a) VA may conduct compliance reviews and preaward reviews of 
recipients or use other similar procedures that will permit it to 
investigate and correct violations of the Act and these regulations. VA 
may conduct these reviews even in the absence of a complaint against a 
recipient. The review may be as comprehensive as necessary to determine 
whether a violation of these regulations has occurred.
    (b) If a compliance review or preaward review indicates a violation 
of the Act or these regulations, VA will attempt to achieve voluntary 
compliance with the Act. If voluntary compliance cannot be achieved, VA 
may institute enforcement proceedings as described in Sec. 18.546.
