Compliance Readiness Checklist

A practical checklist for regulated inventory and asset operations teams—focused on auditability, controls, and defensible evidence.

1
Define inventory ownership and role-based permissions (who can receive, adjust, transfer, approve).
2
Standardize reason codes for adjustments and variance (required fields, approvals, evidence).
3
Implement cycle counts and reconciliation cadence by site/location and criticality.
4
Ensure chain-of-custody for assets: assignment history, check-in/out, and transfers.
5
Document evidence requirements: attachments, photos, SOP links, exception notes.
6
Set compliance triggers: expiration windows, reorder thresholds, variance thresholds, maintenance schedules.
7
Establish audit exports: activity logs, reconciliation reports, exception summaries, evidence packs.
8
Validate integrations (ERP/WMS/SSO) and ensure system-of-record rules are defined.
9
Confirm retention policy for audit logs and evidence (duration, access, export).
10
Run a tabletop “audit request” drill: can you produce evidence in minutes?
