Evidence-based audits:
From audit questions to continuous improvement

This three-part series examines how answer-based audits create inefficiencies and why audit questions must require evidence, not just responses. It introduces a structured approach that separates control intent, evaluation, and documented evidence to improve consistency and defensibility. Over time, this structure turns audits into a system for continuous improvement.
