◆ FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
What types of findings does this tracker cover?
It covers all standard source types: MRAs and exam findings from regulatory exams, internal audit findings, self-identified issues from business lines, and findings from risk assessments and control testing. Each issue is tagged by source type in the log so you can filter and report by category.
How does the root cause analysis template work?
The RCA template uses a structured 5-Why format with pre-populated root cause categories (process failure, people/training, system/technology, third-party, data quality). Each completed RCA links back to the original issue and feeds into recurring root cause trend reporting for management.
What does the executive dashboard show?
The dashboard shows: total open issues by severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low), issues aging past due date, issues by source type and business line, closure rate trend by month, and upcoming due dates. It's designed to give your board and risk committee a snapshot without requiring you to build a slide deck every month.
Is this designed for teams managing MRAs specifically?
Yes — the regulatory exam tracking module is specifically designed for managing MRAs and other exam findings. It includes a separate tab for exam-source issues with fields for the regulatory agency, exam date, finding reference number, management response, and target remediation date.
How many open issues is this designed to handle?
The tracker is designed for teams managing 10–200 open issues concurrently. For programs managing more than 200 open issues, you'd likely be evaluating a dedicated GRC platform — but this handles everything up to that scale without performance issues.
What does the closure validation checklist include?
Before an issue is marked closed, the checklist confirms: remediation steps were completed as documented, evidence of closure has been collected, root cause has been addressed (not just the symptom), the finding owner and second-line reviewer have signed off, and related issues or KRIs have been updated.
Can I share completed outputs externally?
Yes. You can use completed outputs with auditors, customers, bank partners, regulators, and internal stakeholders. Customize the template for internal business use — just don't resell or redistribute the source template files.
How do I receive the files?
Checkout is handled through Stripe. After purchase, you receive the template and guide download link immediately on the confirmation page and by email, along with your Stripe receipt. No account is required.
What if it's not a fit?
Email within 30 days for a full refund, no questions asked. The guarantee is meant to remove purchase risk while you evaluate whether the template fits your use case.
