How the model is organised

Operating scope:

Organizations contain business units and team members; team members link to Users.

Risk and control:

Business units have Risks; Risks have Controls with named team members as owners.

Assessment work:

Assessments link to Organizations, business units and team members, then contain assessment tests and permit measurements.

Correction:

Findings link to Assessments and Controls, and lead to corrective actions and Retests.

Review trail:

Record attachments, review decisions and operation receipts link to Assessments.

Keys and references

Keep organization and unit codes stable as records move through review. An assessment’s record number identifies its period; its Organization, Counterparty and Owner references identify the operating context. Permit measurements use Parent to reach that assessment. Review decisions record source revision and operation receipts record expected revision, allowing the team to compare a decision or attempt with the version it addressed.

Migration order

  1. Load Organizations and Users, then team members and business units.
  2. Load Risks and Controls with their unit and owner references.
  3. Load Assessments and their planned period, organization, owner and unit.
  4. Load assessment tests, permit measurements and record attachments under each assessment.
  5. Load Findings, corrective actions and Retests with their source relationships.
  6. Bring in review decisions and operation receipts with their revision and parent references.
