Control Test Evidence Collection Forecasting & Early Warning
Description
Forecast risk, aging, workload, backlog or balance behavior for control test evidence collection, then alert owners before audit or fiscal deadlines are missed. The MVP would connect ICAM, SailPoint, MyAuth, ERP roles, audit logs, control catalogs, system access reviews and produce read-only recommendations for DoD CIO, Component CIO/FM, System owners, OUSD(C).

Expected benefit
Earlier intervention before deadlines, lower aging/backlog, better resource allocation.
Audit / financial statement impact
Control environment; reliability of financial systems and reports
Controls / human review
Human approval required before posting, payment, denial, personnel action, or official audit response; model validation; drift monitoring; exception sampling; full prompt/data/output logging.
Data needed
ICAM, SailPoint, MyAuth, ERP roles, audit logs, control catalogs, system access reviews; master/reference data; audit logs; policy/control requirements; prior exceptions; relevant document evidence.
Possible metrics
forecast error; prevented deadline misses; backlog reduction; aging reduction
MVP scope
Start with one Component/reporting entity and one subprocess (control test evidence collection) for two close/audit cycles; read-only outputs first.
