Despite strong internal oversight, many compliance teams face rework during examination prep because GLBA evidence isn’t consistently mapped to control ownership. This leads to late-night reconciliations, duplicated attestation efforts, and last-minute scrambles when leadership requests traceability across departments. The burden peaks during OCC review cycles and internal audit rotations, moments when clarity should already be baked in.
