📖What it means
Something an audit observed that may breach a rule. A finding is an OBSERVATION, not yet a verdict — it becomes a violation only once it is confirmed to break a rule that actually applies.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Compliance violation
A finding is what was seen; a violation is a confirmed breach.
Not: Defect
A finding says a rule may have been broken; a defect says something does not work.
