Comment on Jill Horst's post:
That last point about strict adherence to regulations is the foundation everything else rests on. Audit preparation, multi-source documentation, and clear communication all matter — but they only work if the underlying compliance is genuinely there. A well-organized response to a reviewer can't substitute for the daily discipline of following the rules in the first place. Building both the practice and the paper trail at the same time is what makes audit readiness real rather than performative.
