Limitations and assumptions

  • A flag identifies a record for investigation; it does not by itself establish error, fraud, or control failure. Completeness, authorization, materiality, holidays, tolerances, and source-system semantics require separate evidence.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Combine the result with source-document inspection, population reconciliation, exception sampling, and documented professional judgment. Preserve the tested population and parameters for reperformance.
