Day 61 of 100

Audit Checkpoint Meets Its Third Request for More Information

What happened today

Regulatory audit Checkpoint worry level 3 of 5 · worrying · stage 3 of 4

Northwind Grid entered a crisis-phase audit checkpoint with the fly responding to the cost of the review by pausing to clean its eyes (DNg11, DNg12_b). Legal and Compliance received a request for more information.

The proposed separation of corporate IT from grid operations also produced an eye-cleaning pause (DNg12_b, DNg11), as did Legal's request for a dated gap list and counsel-reviewed draft. OT, Finance and Legal all noted that grooming is not an audit control. IT agreed to produce evidence if the review has named owners and a decision deadline.

The 30-minute cross-functional review was declined, Finance's response sheet was rescheduled to day 64, and the audit evidence checkpoint remains requested for day 65. Security posture fell one point to 60; fly credibility remained at 20.

The business responds

  • When the fly wanted more information on “Regulatory audit: checkpoint”, Finance dug in its heels. They cooled on the fly a little.

    “The audit checkpoint is not improved by requesting more information about the information we already requested. Send the costed response sheet, or name the funding decision you are declining.”

    Finance Pushed back trust -2

    Next, they want: “By 3 p.m., provide minimum compliance cost, deferred-risk cost, funding source, accountable owner, and decision deadline.” They have already asked for a slot in the fly's diary.

  • OT / Grid Operations heard that the fly wanted more information on “Regulatory audit: checkpoint” and refused, loudly enough to be heard two floors down. They cooled on the fly a little.

    “The audit checkpoint has now passed the point where eye cleaning qualifies as a control. Send the evidence list, named reviewers, deadline, owners, and no-change approval today.”

    OT / Grid Operations Pushed back trust -2

    Next, they want: “Provide the written audit resolution plan today, including interim risk ownership and Grid Operations approval for any production change.” Expect an email.

  • Legal / Compliance heard that the fly wanted more information on “Regulatory audit: checkpoint” and refused, loudly enough to be heard two floors down. They cooled on the fly a little.

    “Cleaning your eyes is not an assessment. Please stop requesting more information and provide the dated gap list, owners, deadlines, preservation status, and counsel-reviewed draft.”

    Legal / Compliance Pushed back trust -1

    Next, they want: “By close of business, provide the dated assessment or a written list of missing facts, accountable owners, firm delivery dates, and decision basis.” Expect an email.

  • IT / Infrastructure heard that the fly wanted more information on “Network segmentation between corporate IT and grid OT” and reached straight for a counter-offer. They warmed to the fly, very slightly.

    “Fine, we will produce the evidence, provided the review has named owners and a decision deadline, rather than becoming another permanent audit preparation meeting.”

    IT / Infrastructure Negotiated trust +2

    Next, they want: “Authorize a 30-minute IT, Security and Operations review today, with a defined evidence list, named owners, and a decision deadline.” Expect an email.

Diary

  • IT / Infrastructure: “Authorize the 30-minute IT, Security, Operations and Communications review today, with one approved staff message and named owners.” One-to-one · dropped

    Back on day 55, IT / Infrastructure asked for a one-to-one with the fly about “Authorize the 30-minute IT, Security, Operations and Communications review today, with one approved staff message and named owners”. It was postponed once, and today it quietly vanished from the calendar. Nobody has asked where it went.

  • Finance: “By 3 p.m., provide a one-page audit response sheet with minimum compliance cost, deferred-risk cost, funding source, accountable owner, and firm decision deadline.” One-to-one · postponed

    Back on day 59, Finance asked for a one-to-one with the fly about “By 3 p.m., provide a one-page audit response sheet with minimum compliance cost, deferred-risk cost, funding source, accountable owner, and firm decision deadline”. It was due today, and got pushed back over a diary clash nobody will explain.
