CGOV.Preface:6 - Questions for use and recurrent failures

Before relying on a connected result, ask:

  • Is the proposed act attached to the correct corporation and applicable rules?
  • Do the participants have the required powers and eligibility, with cumulative conditions retained?
  • Has each needed contribution reached its recipient in a usable form and at the required time?
  • Does the conclusion stay within the advice, observation or comparison that supports it?
  • If the assignment includes implementation, has the relevant act or provision occurred?
  • Does a failed result require another inquiry, a targeted correction, a different arrangement or a stop?

Use existing answers when their relied-on conditions remain adequate. The questions guide judgement; they do not require a separate record for every answer.

Failure invited by ordinary practiceConsequenceCorrection
Treat the parent’s instruction as the subsidiary’s decision.The wrong corporation’s power appears to authorize the act.Recover the entity and effective delegation with CGOV.1–CGOV.3.
Treat an expert’s favourable conclusion as approval.The corporate act or an unmet condition disappears.Retain the professional scope and perform the required decision through CGOV.11.
Read a charter, control description or training record as performed work.Needed access, operation or capability can remain absent.Follow the affected provision, control or receiving use through CGOV.8, CGOV.9 or CGOV.17.
Fix a decision problem solely by correcting its minute.A missing constitutive act or participation condition remains.Recover what the applicable procedure makes constitutive with CGOV.11; correct the record within that account.
