The specific objective is to reconcile successive versions of the same document and surface every change that can affect rights, amounts, dates or parties.

When to use this review
- Before signing a contract or amendment that changes rights or obligations.
- Before sending money or changing a beneficiary or account.
- When a new version of a previously relied-on document arrives.
- When there is replacement of a draft, addendum or official document with a newer version.
- When the database and a primary document or official source disagree.
- Before final closing when the information can change over time.
Evidence file
- Retain the source or document actually used for the decision.
- Record retrieval/receipt date and reviewer identity.
- Link the version to the correct property, unit and counterparty.
- Preserve prior versions when a document changes.
- Record any difference between the database and primary evidence.
- Do not fill missing fields with undocumented estimates.
Consistency tests
- Does every item refer to the same property and unit?
- Are party identities and legal capacities consistent?
- Is the date suitable for the moment on which the decision relies?
- Are amounts, rights and restrictions consistent across records?
- Does a material fact appear in only one source without explanation?
- Has anything changed since the last review that could alter the decision?
