Every audit cycle turns into a project
Metric definitions get reconstructed from tribal knowledge, job logs, and email threads. The regulator asks when a field changed, who approved it, and what it meant at the time of a specific transaction.
Answering that means pulling threads across systems that don't share a data model, so teams assemble the documentation by hand before every audit window.
SOX, GDPR, BCBS 239, CSRD, and the AI governance mandates now arriving all ask for evidence the estate can't produce on demand.
