Summary

ACC emphasizes linking back to source data when sending alerts. Having a source to check makes discussions with the responsible person more specific. An alert should not leave you guessing, and it must not become an accusation without sufficient evidence.

A common situation

Illustrative scenario: A manager receives a message saying an expense is unusual. With no date or document number, he has to call three people to find it. A good alert should shorten the path to verification, not add another round of questions.

Three steps you can try

  1. Require a code, date, and amount.
  2. Record why the item was flagged.
  3. Link back to the document so recipients can check it themselves.

What to remember

ACC emphasizes linking back to source data when sending alerts. Having a source to check makes discussions with the responsible person more specific. An alert should not leave you guessing, and it must not become an accusation without sufficient evidence.

This is a hypothetical illustration, not an ACC customer testimonial or project result.
