For fear

There is something about an internal audit - especially when you know that the Overlords of Regulatory Darkness are going to be auditing you later in the year - that makes managers realise that perhaps they should stop procrastinating about those outstanding documents you've been trying to get them to do for ages. I've managed to get three separate 'must have' documents signed off in the past week - documents that have been shoved aside with comments of 'things will be changing soon' and 'I don't really have time for this now.' (Yes, Magicke, I am looking at you over that second excuse. Darth Chaos favours the first one.)

As a mere peon, the only threat I can make towards procrastinating managers is the one about the consequences of not having 'must have' documents in place when the Overlords arrive to check up on us.

All I have to do now is remind myself of the satisfaction I shall feel when I get the last of our other out of date documents signed off - it's a monumental task.
