Integrity Assurance Reviews

What this topic covers

Independent checks of asset registers, inspection programs, findings, work execution and governance.

Core ideas

Assurance samples evidence to determine whether controls work in practice.

Reviews can test traceability from risk assessment to inspection to finding to completed action.

Recurring assurance findings can indicate systemic process weakness.

Program tradeoffs

Overdue findings and inspections should be evaluated by significance and governed escalation rather than hidden in averages.

What good evidence looks like

Assurance verifies traceability from risk and inspection through decision, work execution and closure.

Lifecycle perspective

Competence, change management and data governance are core parts of technical integrity.
