”Unless there are extenuating circumstances, audit activity should be carried out while cases are “live” and before they are submitted to DWP. As such all audit activity should be carried out swiftly to avoid delay to the case.”
Have come across this a few times.
Firstly there are often extenuating circumstances in the sense that clued up claimants are now asking for reports quicker than IAS can often start the audit process.
Secondly, the guidance says “should” not “must”.
