If your workflow is “approve first, attach evidence later”, audits become guesswork. Dubai/UAE teams feel this pressure more because operations are fast-moving and documentation is often spread across email, WhatsApp, and shared drives.
Start here:
1) Make evidence a prerequisite, not an optional attachment
Treat evidence like a workflow input:
- vendor quote PDF attached before award decisions
- GRN / delivery evidence attached before bill approval
- contract/variation documents linked before commitment changes

- reason codes (what failed)
- confidence/flags (how uncertain)
- review queue ownership (who resolves)

Vendors resend revised PDFs. Operators attach missing pages. Approvers request changes. Your system needs:
- deterministic safe reruns (no duplicate side effects)
- preserved status history
- audit trails that survive revisions
