Control Testing Evidence Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Key controls are tested on a schedule to prove they work, but chasing evidence takes most of the time. When a test is due, this agent selects samples and requests evidence from the control owner. It checks each sample against every test step, such as approval present and dated before payment. A sample passes only when evidence meets every step. When evidence is missing or a sample fails, it asks the owner for more information; if it still fails, it records an exception and drafts a remediation action. After the fix is in place, it retests and checks the control now works. Controls that changed mid-year are tested by period. The risk manager approves the test result and remediation plan. Edge case: a control changed mid-year, so the agent tests both versions for their periods.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

An example run

What happensFor the Q2 payment approval test, 2 of 25 samples lacked approval before payment, so the sample check failed. The owner found one approval in email, and the other stayed an exception. The agent drafted a remediation: a system block on unapproved payments. The risk manager approved. A month later the retest of 25 new samples all passed, and the file was closed.
