- 02Map crops, locations, shares and units to documents
- 03Assign every material date and duty
- 04Expose missing acknowledgements and unresolved questions

- G01
This audit provides no policy, coverage, eligibility, premium, guarantee, deadline, unit or claim interpretation.
- G02
Use current approved-provider and agent guidance for the exact farm and crop year.
- G03
Do not treat a register entry as modifying the policy.
Confirm parties and crop year
Entity, ownership, provider and policy changes can make last year's register unsafe to reuse.
- 01Identify policyholder and entities, authorized people, agent, approved provider, policy identity and crop year
- 02List counties, crops, shares and farm-structure changes requiring qualified review
- 03Protect personal, tax and financial identifiers with minimum access
Assemble governing documents
Marketing summaries and conversations do not replace the policy document set.
- 01Inventory application, provisions, special provisions, actuarial records, endorsements, options and written agreements where applicable
- 02Record issuer, document identity, crop year, receipt, effective state and supersession
- 03Link processed summaries, acreage and production reports, bills, notices and claims without calling them policy amendments
Audit dates and duties
Dates differ by crop, county, year and policy and can change.
- 01Obtain applicable dates only from current controlled sources and agent or provider confirmation
- 02Assign owner, reminder, submission method, evidence and escalation for each reporting or decision event
- 03Flag generic, stale, missing, conflicting or unacknowledged dates
Close the annual review
Renewal without farm and contract-change review can preserve incorrect assumptions.
- 01Compare documents, crops, fields, practices, shares, units, production history and farm risk changes
- 02Record agent questions, provider responses, elections and approvals without independently interpreting them
- 03Retain reviewed register, acknowledgements, corrections and open-item owners
