You'll document audit findings, track remediation progress, and demonstrate governance readiness to regulators and stakeholders.

Example Output
Example 1: Minutes Audit Finding
- Gap: Board meeting minutes lack documented conflict-of-interest disclosures required under Nonprofit Integrity Act Section 5047
- Impact: High — Direct regulatory violation
- Remediation: Implement conflict-of-interest disclosure form in minutes template; train board secretary on documentation requirements; audit past 12 months of minutes
Example 2: Policy Compliance Finding
- Gap: Board committee charter does not specify quorum requirements or voting procedures per SOX 302/404 internal control standards
- Impact: Medium — Creates audit risk around committee authority and decision validity
- Remediation: Revise committee charters to document quorum thresholds, voting rules, and approval authority; distribute to all committee members
Example 3: Documentation Gap
- Gap: Whistleblower policy required under Dodd-Frank and SOX is not referenced in minutes or board meeting agendas
- Impact: Medium — Creates appearance of inadequate oversight and potential regulatory inquiry
- Remediation: Add annual whistleblower policy review to Q1 board agenda; document board acknowledgment in meeting minutes
