Control period

The control period specifies the time span to be considered for the current surveys, test cases, sign-offs, and audits, that is, it is the period in which the activities to be checked took place. The length of control period specifies the time unit, for example, month, quarter, year.

Example for test cases:

If a control is to be tested, the test case specifies the time period of which the control executions must be checked (= control period). Besides the control period, there is a time period to execute the test case (= testing period). The periods relate to one another.
