What is the Fix the Control Review Bottleneck course about?

Control reviews consistently fall behind due to delayed evidence collection from dispersed teams. Stakeholders treat requests as low priority, templates aren’t standardized, and follow-up becomes a full-time job. As deadlines approach, manual chases create tension, last-minute submissions reduce quality, and sign-off delays ripple into audit cycles. This bottleneck isn’t about compliance, it’s about coordination velocity.
