Common CSV audit findings and how to avoid them

Most CSV audit findings are not exotic. They are a small set of recurring gaps, requirements drift, missing evidence, unclear ownership, that show up across companies of every size. Knowing the pattern in advance makes them much easier to catch before an auditor does.

Requirements that changed without a paper trail

A feature evolves after go live, a field gets renamed, a workflow step gets added, and the original requirement document never catches up. The fix is treating a requirement change like any other change, documented and approved, even when the change feels minor at the time.

Evidence that exists somewhere, just not in the record

A test genuinely ran, and the person who ran it remembers it clearly, but the screenshot or output proving it lives in an email or a chat thread instead of the validation record. From an auditor's perspective, evidence that is not filed with the record effectively does not exist.

Systems nobody remembers owning

A tool adopted a few years ago by a team that has since reorganized, still in use, with no current owner tracking its validation status. This is more common than most compliance teams expect, and the fix starts with a periodic inventory review rather than waiting for an audit to surface it.
