I would apply the same rules that we had before the pandemic, and whichever do not apply, document the situation, discuss it, ask advice. It could be from external advisers or internal advisers. Ask advice. Ask, “If you were not to respect this guideline, would you be in breach of something?” Just inquire. Focus on the one that you cannot really not respect, instead of going through the 16 of them. Say that you are going to go with the regular process, but that if ever you need to speed it up, then you're going to try to see what the effect would be and what you could do to compensate for the fact that you might be bypassing existing internal controls.
