Episode 59 — Build quality assurance that keeps governance processes reliable and auditable (3A5)
This episode focuses on building quality assurance for governance processes so they stay reliable, repeatable, and auditable as the organization scales, changes, and faces new regulatory expectations. You’ll learn how QA applies to governance by verifying that processes are followed as designed, evidence is complete and accurate, decisions are documented and traceable, and exceptions are handled consistently with defined criteria. We’ll cover practical QA mechanisms such as periodic process testing, sampling and evidence review, control self-assessments, peer review of key artifacts, and monitoring for variance across teams and regions. Real-world scenarios include approvals recorded without supporting evidence, inconsistent exception handling that undermines fairness, and governance forums that meet but don’t produce clear decisions or follow-through. On the CGEIT exam, strong answers typically emphasize QA that strengthens the credibility of governance outcomes through verification, documentation, and corrective action loops, ensuring governance can stand up to audit, regulatory scrutiny, and executive accountability.
