In the U.S., Sec. 73.61(a) requires that directional AM stations monitor FS
at monitor points as often as necessary to maintain compliance. To an FCC
inspector, that means regular, periodic measurements. In some directional
cases, quarterly measurements are also mandatory.
If the inspector believes the station is not in compliance, the FCC can
compel the station to make a partial proof-of-performance on the pattern.
You don't want to be anywhere near the station owner/manager when s/he gets
that news.
