GOVERNANCE & EVIDENCE

Governance & Evidence: Audit Readiness, Decision Logs and Compliance Artifacts

Regulated environments demand not just good work - but verifiable work. I build governance structures that are audit-ready, traceable, and transferable - decision logs, risk registers, test evidence structures, and compliance artifacts.

When to Engage

  • Upcoming audit (BaFin, internal revision, external auditors) without sufficient evidence
  • Project artifacts are unstructured, incomplete, or not traceable
  • Management demands audit-ready governance for an ongoing program
  • Regulatory requirements (DORA, MaRisk, etc.) require robust evidence management

Deliverables

Decision log with complete decision history (who, when, why, implications)
Risk register with assessment, measures, and tracking
Test evidence structure (test planning, execution, sign-off, traceability)
Compliance artifacts structured according to regulatory standards
Governance handbook for sustainable transferability

Approach & Methodology

As-Is Analysis: Existing artifacts and processes are assessed for audit readiness. Gaps and risks are identified and prioritized.

Structuring: Governance artifacts are built or restructured according to defined standards - traceable, versioned, and transferable.

Embedding: Governance processes are integrated into existing workflows and handed over to internal teams - ensuring the structure is sustainable.

Regulatory Context

Governance and evidence management are especially relevant in contexts involving:

  • BaFin/EBA requirements (MaRisk, BAIT, DORA)
  • Internal revision and compliance audits
  • Vendor audits and third-party risk management

Project contexts are anonymized. Roles and results are truthful; details available under NDA.
