Credit controls need clear authority
Review how permissions, transaction approvals, valuation checks, and recorded outcomes fit into a TORQ credit workflow.
What to examine.
Permission model.
Identify the authority for configuration changes, facility actions, and emergency controls.
Data freshness.
Check valuation freshness and dependency availability before acting, including how the workflow handles expired reports or unavailable data.
Wallet signing.
Review the authorized signing wallet and transaction details before approval, so the signer understands the action and permissions being committed.
Canonical outcome.
Follow an action from submission to its confirmed, indexed result, then review the recorded business state before making the next decision.
To limit potential disruptions, financial firms should develop and test response and recovery procedures.
Review the operating environment.
- Operational response. Review pause, monitoring, and incident responsibilities for the actual environment.
- Assurance evidence. Request the scope, date, and limits of any review relevant to the deployment.
