The Control Saturation Review

Checking whether a process can still move between its controls.

The framework and its scope

The review maps controls against risks, identifies duplication and considers the cumulative effort placed on the operating team. Proposed removals go to the Control Preservation Panel with the original risk assessment and the most recent test results. The panel also requests confirmation from the office that introduced the check, including offices since absorbed into other functions.

The Usual application

An eight-step review has six checks against the same source and no independent verification of the underlying fact. The team proposes one stronger check. The panel requests a six-week parallel run before retiring the other five checks.
