The situation

What has happened

Stewards have advised that stable inspections will take place across the region in September 2026. The Veterinary Liaison and Welfare Manager has asked for the monthly audit of the Treatment and Medication Log by 21 September. The log shows an active withholding period for Northgate Flyer with a trial on 15 September, an ongoing omeprazole course for Kestrel Comet, and a physiotherapy entry marked for review. The Monday stock count of the medication room shows one tube of phenylbutazone paste fewer than the log accounts for. Three horses are nominated for the week of 21 September. Any gap found now is far better than a gap found by a steward.

Your brief. Reconcile the Treatment and Medication Log against the medication stock count and the current nominations, identify every entry that is incomplete or inconsistent with the procedure and policy, and write an audit report with corrective actions for the Veterinary Liaison and Welfare Manager.

What to look for

Evidence guide

The audit must be systematic: written criteria, every record checked, findings evidenced by log entries and stock figures. Look for the correct handling of the Northgate Flyer clear date, a proportionate investigation of the stock discrepancy without accusation, corrections made as new entries, and actions that have an owner and a date. The briefing must reflect strict liability.

The student's evidence summary lists every record they created or changed in the systems named above, their notes and the tasks they ticked. Verify it against the deliverables and your own assessment tool.
