Evidence Integrity

Core Question

How can audit evidence preserve its integrity throughout the complete audit
lifecycle?

Canonical Definition

Evidence Integrity Standard defines the governance conditions required to
preserve the integrity of governed evidence after successful evidence
formation. It establishes evidence integrity principles, preservation
requirements, protection mechanisms, integrity validation controls, governance
safeguards, and continuous integrity assurance conditions necessary to ensure
that governed evidence remains authentic, complete, trustworthy, unaltered,
and suitable for audit, operational reconstruction, and independent
verification throughout the complete lifecycle of a governed entity.

Operational Role

Evidence Integrity Standard governs how governed evidence remains authentic,
complete, trustworthy, protected, and continuously preservable after
successful evidence formation.

Foundational Principle

Trustworthy evidence requires continuously preserved integrity.
