The reviewer decides from the complete package described below.\n\n**Inputs**\n1. Review the Process item, prior narrative and flowchart, organization and system changes, policies, procedures, risks, controls, issues, and transaction populations.\n2. Use scoped interviews, procedures, system configurations, reports, forms, tickets, contracts, and the selected transaction without assuming the prior narrative remains accurate.\n3. Use the selected transaction, source documents, system records, approvals, calculations, interfaces, exception logs, narrative draft, mapped risks and controls, and participant explanations.\n4. Review every stage result, narrative and flowchart, transaction evidence, stakeholder responses, differences, updated mappings, linked issues, and open documentation actions.\n\n**Procedure**\n1. Interview the accountable process owner, reconcile the stated boundary to upstream and downstream handoffs, identify material variants and outsourced activities, and select a representative transaction for walkthrough.\n2. Describe each activity in sequence, identify performer and reviewer, inputs and outputs, system and manual steps, decision points, interfaces, risks, controls, exception routes, evidence retained, and timing.\n3. Observe or inspect each narrated step, match timestamps and identifiers across systems, verify handoffs and approvals, inquire about deviations, trace data transformations, and update the narrative for demonstrated practice.\n4. Trace material narrative claims to walkthrough support, confirm corrections were incorporated, verify exceptions and open gaps are not suppressed, and return incomplete or inconsistent work with precise comments.\n\n**Record in AssureSwarm**\n1. Capture the period, boundary, participants, applications, locations, variants, dependencies, selected transaction identifier, excluded paths, and limitations. Also record walkthrough period; process boundary.\n2. Link the dated narrative and flowchart, list source documents and interviewees, map material risks and controls to process points, and call out conflicting accounts or undocumented practice. Also record narrative reference.\n3. Document the transaction trail, people interviewed, screens or reports inspected, steps corroborated, differences, updates made, unresolved questions, owners, and due dates. Also record walkthrough result.\n4. Capture the authorized reviewer, closure summary, accepted narrative version and date, walkthrough result, linked risks, controls and issues, plus remaining action owners and due dates. Also record process record summary.\n\n**Exit criteria**\nProcess owner and walkthrough specialist provides approval: The process boundary and walkthrough selection are unambiguous, responsible participants are available, and material variants are included or assigned separate follow-up. The draft is sufficiently specific to replay the process, handoffs and exception paths are visible, and every material statement has an identified source or open validation item. An approver accepts that the walkthrough trail supports the recorded current state or that specific gaps and additional walkthrough work are assigned before closure. The authorized reviewer accepts the process record as a traceable description of work performed, related records can be updated consistently, and closure is not represented as assurance.","kind":"task","label":"Approve process record","requiredApprovals":1},"id":"process-record-closure"}],"sourceTemplateId":"workflow-library:audit-process-narrative-walkthrough"}
