Compliance review

Work through observations and supporting documents before verification. The work starts with observations, outcome and source reference. The team checks evidence document and verifier before passing the record to the next person. Compliance Reviewer keeps the operational context close to the assignment; Engagement Owner can inspect the related record before making a change. The page is a place to work from actual records, including an owner and a date, instead of a separate status report.

• Record the observation. Keep its date, source reference and outcome under the engagement.
• Check the document. Record the external reference, document date and named verifier on the linked evidence.
• Assign a correction. Give rejected or pending work a person and due date.

Agree who prepares an engagement, who checks evidence, and who can make the final decision. Set the organization and People records before the first assignment. Decide which contractor profile applies, how an agreed rate and its unit will be entered, and which dates the team will use to monitor an assignment. A status change should follow the underlying review, with the decision recorded against the revision that was actually inspected.

Decide how your team keeps source documents. Evidence Documents have an external reference, document date, verification flag and verifier. Make that reference usable to the reviewer. Also agree what counts as a complete follow-up action: an assignee, due date, resolution and completion date let the next person judge whether a problem was addressed.

An observation for an expiring insurance record stays pending while the reviewer checks the dated document. The reviewer records the document reference and verifier. If the observation is rejected, the owner creates a follow-up action rather than treating the missing evidence as accepted. The team then reopens the source engagement and checks the linked records. The next person should be able to identify the current owner, the dates and the reason for the decision without relying on an email thread. If a term or document changes, compare the current source revision with the recorded review before moving forward.

Run the same case from the next person’s screen. Check that the right assignment appears, its related item opens, and the status matches the recorded decision. Try a returned or rejected outcome as well as the normal path. The owner should know what to correct, and the reviewer should be able to inspect the corrected record rather than an unconnected note.

• Compliance observations pending — Pending observations with their source references.
• Documents to verify — Documents awaiting a named verification.
