With the introduction of this new policy, an excellent audit framework

Hi

Is this sentence OK in formal writing, especially the underlined part?

With the introduction of this new policy, an excellent audit framework would be n

[or -- to give respect to this initiative?]

Thanks,

"necessarily" should be between "would" and "be", but just replacing "necessarily required" with "necessary" is even better to avoid redundancy. You don't want to use "grace" there. "Grace" as an intransitive verb is slightly archaic outside of a few idioms that still survive.

I meant as a transitive verb, of course!

Give respect to this move?

Or are there better verbs?

In addition to the other comments, I suggest you consider the word 'credibility' instead of 'respect'.
