Audit the workflow before chasing every file
Start by checking whether each active vendor has an applicable requirement set, a current recorded status, a visible owner, and a next action. That exposes process gaps before the team spends time requesting documents.
Audit these workflow controls
Every active vendor is attached to the correct property or group
Requirements match vendor type and current company policy
Dated items have recorded renewal or review dates
Every exception has an internal owner and next action
Evidence links follow approved access and retention practices
Turn findings into a cleanup queue
Fix structure
Correct vendors, requirement names, ownership, and missing dates first.
Prioritize active risk decisions
Let authorized reviewers handle expired or disputed evidence.
Request in batches
Send each vendor one consolidated list of open items.
