Common pitfalls
Avoid these common mistakes that create compliance risk and reporting chaos.
Leaving evidence collection until the last minute▼
Many teams wait until reporting deadlines approach before gathering evidence. This creates gaps, inconsistencies, and defensibility issues. Start collecting evidence continuously as you operate.
Incomplete reconciliation documentation▼
Reconciliation evidence often lacks clear exception visibility, ownership, and supporting artifacts. Ensure each reconciliation includes clear exception handling, timestamps, and decision records.
Fragmented incident response workflows▼
Incident timelines, decisions, and supporting evidence are often scattered across emails, tickets, and documents. Structure incident workflows with clear ownership and defensible timelines from day one.
Missing audit trail continuity▼
Evidence packs lack clear traceability showing who did what, when, and why. Maintain audit trails that survive handoffs, vendor changes, and team growth.
Inconsistent reporting formats▼
Each reporting cycle requires reformatting and rework because evidence isn't structured consistently. Standardize evidence organization and reporting outputs to reduce rework.
Partner scrutiny unpreparedness▼
Due diligence requests trigger last-minute scrambles because artifacts aren't organized and narratives aren't clear. Maintain readiness with organized evidence and clear documentation.
