CGOV.10:2 - Problem

A financial-statement audit can be presented as assurance that a new investment will succeed. An internal review of a control’s design can be presented as evidence that it operated throughout the year. A board can receive several reports without knowing which question any of them answers.

Alternatively, a missing conclusion becomes a demand for unlimited evidence. Reports multiply while access, criteria or the relevant observation period remain unavailable. The corporation needs to know which reliance is supported now and what an obtainable further contribution could change.
