There is an annual registration fee (currently $100.00 USD) for using the Regional Independent Verifier (RIV) Online Audit System, payable on registration and billed once annually while participating in the program. The fee covers registration and the compulsory GAP auditor examination (2 attempts). The fee does not cover the submission of audit reports into the Online Audit System. Some training entities do not require an exam through the RIV Online Audit System. In this case, the RIV should be given an access code to complete registration.
