The five-stage assurance pipeline for London governance decisions Five owned stages carry an LGD board decision from capture through assurance into a filed evidence pack, each handing the next a named artefact, so Ofgem can read the decisions from the repository without LGD legal in the room.
The five-stage assurance pipeline for London governance decisions
A vertical five-stage pipeline with a left axis pointing down, labelled decision to evidence. Each stage names its owning function as a left chip and the artefact it hands on as a right tag, with downward flow arrows between stages. Stage 1, the architecture board, captures the decision as a board minute. Stage 2, the repository team, categorises it into a tagged record. Stage 3, internal audit, checks it against principle and standard, producing an audit finding. Stage 4, the secretariat, assembles the assurance pack. Stage 5, the accent-tinted destination, files the evidence in the regulator-readable section of the repository.
