Be sure to record the date each issue is revealed as these dates may be significant for establishing look-back periods if recordkeeping audits are required.  The issue reveal date also sets the beginning tracking point for subsequent corrective measures related to each issue.  It is also helpful to note if the issue was raised by the Government agency or discovered internally.
