WWW.MSPMA.COM | 17 So, How Ready Are You for an Audit? If you want to see where you stand, think about these three areas, and ask yourself: If someone asked for this information today, could I pull it together quickly? 1. Life Safety Documentation This is where the stakes are highest. Fire suppression systems, emergency lighting, HVAC serving occupied spaces, and electrical infrastructure all pose real risks if something goes wrong. Audit-ready teams do not just complete inspections of these systems. They record them in a way that holds up under scrutiny. That means clear documentation of: • Date completed • Who performed the work • What was checked • What was found • What was done to correct any issues Inspectors want proof. If you can’t show it, it’s as if it never happened. 2. Asset-Level Maintenance History Every major asset should have a history that tells its story. This should be a clear record over time of what has been repaired, what it cost, and how often issues have occurred. This matters for a few reasons: • It protects your credibility. A documented history shows responsible management. • It helps you plan. You cannot make a strong repair-versus- replace case without knowing what you have already invested in an asset. • It protects your team. When someone leaves, that knowledge should not leave with them.
