Controls guidance

Read the audit timeline

Reconstruct who did what, when, and against which purchase and policy records.

FOR
Auditor, Organisation administrator, Procurement, Finance
OUTCOME
Use RAQOZ to reconstruct who did what, when, and against which purchase and policy records.

Before you begin

  • Access to the relevant purchase, supplier or policy record.
  • Enough source evidence to review the result without relying on copied summaries.

Guidance

  1. 1

    Start from the purchase or control record whose history you need to understand.

  2. 2

    Read events in sequence and confirm actor, time, action and source record.

  3. 3

    Compare material decisions with the policy version and evidence available at that point.

  4. 4

    Use corrections as later attributable events rather than expecting history to disappear.

Evidence RAQOZ retains

  • Attributable event sequence
  • Source-record references
  • Policy and correction context

Common issues

Evidence is marked missing.

Open the mapped source record and either add the legitimately missing evidence or preserve the exception. Do not substitute an unsupported conclusion.

A control result must be allowed exceptionally.

Request a bounded, independent waiver or override where supported; keep the original evaluation and rationale connected.
