Governance Sign-Off
RBI examiners aren't asking if you have a policy. They're asking who approved it, and where the record is.
RBI's draft framework treats board-level approval as a formal governance act, not an IT deliverable. Auditors agree: the audit trail gap is what they flag most, not the missing control.
Governance Sign-Off is a gate, not a checkbox: set how many admins must approve, and every sign-off must cite real evidence before the initiative can move to completed, enforced server-side.

Server-enforced gate
The required sign-off count is checked on the server before an initiative can move to completed, so it can't be bypassed by editing the client or skipping a screen.
Evidence-linked approvals
Every sign-off must cite at least one real evidence record, turning 'we reviewed it' into a claim an examiner can actually trace.
Configurable approver count
You decide how many admins or owners must sign off per initiative, matching your own governance structure instead of a fixed one-approver default.
A record, not a checkbox
Each sign-off is a timestamped, attributed act, not a status field a single person can flip on their own.

How it works
1
Set the required sign-off count
An admin decides how many qualifying sign-offs an initiative needs before it can be marked completed.
2
A reviewer signs off against evidence
Each admin or owner records their sign-off by citing at least one piece of real evidence already in the Evidence Locker, not a free-text note alone.
3
The server checks the count
The initiative's status transition to completed is blocked server-side until the number of qualifying sign-offs meets the threshold you set.
4
The record stands
Every sign-off, who made it, when, and what evidence it cited, stays attached to the initiative as a permanent governance record.

Frequently asked
Who this helps
The Compliance Head
Gets a governance record for each initiative that names who approved it and what evidence backed that approval, ready to hand an examiner.
The Board
Can require a minimum number of qualifying sign-offs before any initiative is considered closed, matching board-level approval expectations in frameworks like RBI's draft Model Risk Management Framework.
The Internal Auditor
Can trace any completed initiative back to the specific evidence each sign-off cited, closing the audit trail gap examiners flag most often.
