CGOV.13:4.1 - Recover what is being followed and who must answer for it

Identify the decision, obligation or policy; the result or condition to be monitored; its time horizon; and the responsible participants. Preserve limitations attached to approval, such as a commitment ceiling or a condition for further deployment.

Establish who receives the account and what that recipient can do. A committee may examine information and recommend a response while a board retains the decision. The manager who performed the work may owe an account without having power to change the governing condition.

Use existing decision records, operating reports and assigned reporting duties when they answer these questions. Recover a missing duty to account from the applicable rule, assignment or decision. Use CGOV.3 for an unresolved power to require or perform the proposed act.
