9.3 Management review
Top management must review the BCMS on a planned basis against a defined set of inputs, and must record and act on the decisions the review produces.

These are the artefacts auditors commonly ask for on this requirement, our guidance rather than text from the standard. Your assessor decides what is sufficient in your context, and asks for samples across the period when a report covers one.
