The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) requires from all dioceses in the United States to undergo yearly audits to verify their compliance with the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People.
These audits are undertaken by StoneBridge Business Partners, which began Charter audits for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops since 2011.
StoneBridge also issues the annual report which includes statistical data gathered by the Georgetown University-based Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA).
