Control assurance

Objective: To decide how to act on the information received from individual assurance activities or consolidated reports within an agreed governance structure (for example meetings and reporting lines). This could include decisions to:

● escalate findings;

● trigger other interventions;

● adapt the current plan of assurance or continuously improve the assurance elements;

● continuously improve the assurance system based on an assessment of where it is having the most impact;

● inform resourcing requirements; and

● respond to trends across the portfolio of projects.
