What is the Fix the Monthly Controls Pack That course about?

Every month, the controls pack must reflect updated test results, stakeholder comments, and new compliance thresholds. But the current workflow relies on manual copy-paste between Excel, Word, and SharePoint. When feedback comes in, the formatting collapses, source references go missing, and reconciling versions takes longer than the actual analysis. This delays sign-off, erodes stakeholder trust, and forces rework that could be avoided.
