When inspecting information, the Content Criteria provides a guide to evaluating the design of the control. Content Criteria help ensure that the controls are appropriately designed to achieve their intended purpose. Evaluating the design involves assessing whether the control's structure, procedures, and policies are adequate to mitigate identified risks and meet regulatory and organizational requirements.

Follow-up should not be restricted to the recommendations and action plan alone. It should also target the underlying risk to ensure that the actions and controls implemented are effectively mitigating the identified risks. If the follow-up reveals that the planned actions and controls are not working as intended, it is essential to identify and recommend necessary changes to address the underlying risk adequately. This approach ensures that the root causes of issues are addressed and that the organization is protected against potential risks. Reference:

During the planning phase of an assessment, it is not necessary to conduct a complete risk assessment and detailed testing. Instead, limited information gathering and initial procedures are sufficient to estimate inherent risk and control risk, allowing planning to proceed. This initial estimate helps to set the scope and focus of the assessment. Detailed testing and a comprehensive risk assessment can be conducted during the actual assessment phase. This approach allows for a more efficient and flexible planning process. Reference:
