When do you audit an Electronic Record/JRF?

• A. Permanent Change of Station (PSC)
• B. First in-processes the base
• C. Separates
• D. Retires

Answer: (B)

Auditing should happen as soon as the Electronic Record/JRF first enters processing at the base. At that moment you capture the initial data, who entered it, and when, establishing a reliable baseline for the entire life of the record. If you wait until later events—like a PCS move, a separation, or retirement—the record can accumulate unchecked changes, making it harder to verify what was originally entered. Early auditing ensures data integrity, accountability, and a clear, traceable history from the start.
