7. An approach for formulating aresponseEvaluate the current state of compliance in light of theaudit observation. If possible, indicate what is compliant.Identify the root cause of the issue as appropriate.Understand how the firm will resolve the issue systemically.Review prior commitments. Are any issues a repeatobservation or a repeat observation for the same typesystem issue? This is critical to know and understand. Ifyou have made a commitment in the past regarding anobservation but the corrective actions were notimplemented or did not resolve the issue, the inspectingbody will evaluate the current observations in a morecritical light. Repeat observations also greatly increase thelikelihood of further regulatory actions.
