- Move the exception to the team’s general operating procedure.Relocation may improve accessibility, but does not supply an owner or a time-bounded review mechanism.
- Record an accountable owner and expiry or review date for the exception. ✓These fields create responsibility and a defined point to revisit whether the exception remains justified.
- Require staff to acknowledge the exception before handling documents.Acknowledgment supports awareness, but does not establish who owns the exception or when it must be reconsidered.
- Require another vendor benchmark before continuing the exception.A benchmark may add performance evidence, but does not make the exception time-limited or assign accountability.

For exceptions, look for both responsibility and a review boundary; either one alone leaves governance incomplete. How to remember it
