From Requirement to Assurance
A requirement is only useful when a team knows what to do, keeps evidence of what it did, and can test whether the control actually worked.
02
Implementation & Evidence
Translate the requirement into accountable work and preserve evidence that shows what was implemented.
03
Assurance
Test the evidence against defined criteria and distinguish organizational claims from independent evaluation.
About the project
An Independent Learning and Reference Project
AuditDIFF is being built as an independent learning and reference project. Explanations are kept distinct from source language so readers can see where a requirement comes from and where practical interpretation begins.
