Okay, I think the key here is to evaluate the design of the controls, not just their implementation. So I'd focus on things like confirming alerts are properly escalated and that customer records are being kept as per policy. That should give me a good sense of the overall design effectiveness.

This seems like a straightforward question about evaluating the design effectiveness of controls. I'd probably start by checking if the policies and procedures are consistent with regulations, as that's a key part of design effectiveness.
