First move
This control is evidenced by people and documents, not systems. Put the document under version control with an owner and review date, and log each review as a record with reviewer and date. Do not try to automate it.
Common gaps auditors find
- Strategies documented but procurement continues to buy on price and delivery alone
- Supply chain clauses omitted from lower value purchases that still carry risk
- No evidence the strategies were applied to any actual acquisition
