Exception Report

A report that uses validated search rules to find predefined abnormal data or actions and present them to the reviewer.

Details

Exception reports allow risk events to be selected efficiently from large audit trails, but they must be validated so that events outside the rule are not automatically excluded. Inspections cite weak justification for the search conditions and thresholds, unverified completeness and sensitivity, and missing version control and reconciliation against the source audit trail. Look at the requirements and verification evidence, the rules and their versions, generation logs, review and investigation, and periodic performance assessment.
