What a Lead Auditor wants to see in your evidence
Common evidence mistakes — screenshots without context, policies without ownership, tickets without closure — and the fixes that prevent nonconformities.

Written by Sara Vanhoof and pressure-tested on live audit engagements before publication, this blog is designed to move a programme forward the same week you open it.
Every section is annotated with the decision it should unblock, the owner it should sit with, and the evidence it should leave behind — so the artefact still holds up under audit twelve months later.
- Field-tested against real Stage 1 and Stage 2 audit findings
- Mapped to the controls and cadences the Audit faculty deploy in cohort work
- Editable, credit-line optional — use it inside your organisation without attribution
- Includes evidence pointers, owner fields and a first-90-days cadence
- Heads of GRC, CISOs, DPOs and internal audit leads
- Lead Implementers and Lead Auditors preparing for cert cycles
- Consulting teams standing up client programmes
