NFAS Audit Evidence Hub
Continuously assembles your NFAS accreditation evidence — SOPs, treatment and HGP records, CVDs and ration records, NLIS movements, environmental monitoring — into a time-stamped, audit-ready pack and flags the gaps against the Modules and Elements before the annual audit arrives.
The live demo, running on fabricated data. Open it to step through the full flow — every output is shown for a person to approve before anything happens.
Watches where the feedlot's records land year-round, resolves each NFAS Element to evidence-on-file or gap, and lays out a complete pack with every open gap owned and dated for the QA manager to close and sign off before AUS-MEAT arrives.
It turns audit week from a fire drill into the review of a pack that was already complete.
- Done by hand, audit week pulls the QA manager and half the office off the yard to hunt a year of evidence across multiple systems — and the periodic obligations are the first thing missed until the auditor counts them.
- Best for a mid-sized NFAS-accredited feedlot where evidence is scattered across the yard, the mill, the hospital pen and the office, and grain-fed market eligibility depends on holding accreditation.
- The recaptured days go back into running the yard and closing real gaps early — not into another fortnight of pre-audit document hunting.
It is confidently complete when the source records are wrong — a tidy pack around a record that never should have passed.
- It checks that a record exists and is current; it does not judge whether the record is correct. A filed-but-wrong CVD or an undated induction can read as on-file when it isn't audit-sound.
- Weak where an Element needs interpretation — whether a treatment was administered to label, whether a welfare observation actually clears the standard — which is a judgement call, not a presence check. It should flag, not assume.
- The Element-to-Module mapping is only as right as its encoding of the NFAS Standards; point it at a stale version of the Rules and Standards and it can mark an obligation met that the current standard no longer accepts.
If you cannot say, looking at a green Element, which record evidences it and whether that record is actually correct — the gauge has made your readiness look better than your pack would survive under the auditor.
It assembles and flags. A person owns each gap and signs off. That boundary is deliberate.
NFAS accreditation is mandatory for producing grain-fed beef for the domestic and export markets, and the feedlot is audited annually against the Rules and Standards by AUS-MEAT. A wrong or missing record can mean a non-conformance, a corrective-action notice, or — at the extreme — eligibility to sell into the grain-fed market. The accountable person stays on the decision because the consequence lands on the feedlot, not the tool.
Records that land somewhere the tool can read, and a current encoding of the NFAS Standards to resolve them against.
The weak point is almost never the AI layer — it is that records land in inconsistent places, half in systems and half on paper, with no schedule of which periodic obligations are due when. Getting the record sources into watchable form and the NFAS Standards encoded current is usually the real first job — larger and more valuable than the assembly layer on top. Once the sources are clean, every audit cycle after that is a review, not a hunt.
