This is how literally every "inspection" of everything ever works at scale.

"Oh, the X department has a review coming up, better send the X review prep team to make sure X is Xing like they should and light a fire under their ass to fix it if not".

Sure X is supposed to be ensuring compliance continuously but we all know where that falls on the priority list so hence things only ever get fixed in the pre-inspection inspection.

Edit: Yes I know they falsified records. I'm talking about the general case here.
