A stub citation, or 'stub' is a sentence or fragment that is used as a precursor to a longer citation. Stubs do not contain mandates, but they can provide contextual information for subsequent citations or contain specific actions that must be performed (i.e.; an audit report must include); - typically numbered/lettered/bulleted citations follow -(i.e.; (a) audit opinion (b) agreed upon procedures.) When stubs contain contextual information or actions to be performed, they must be added to the additional guidance so that relevant terms can be tagged (more on additional guidance shortly).
Stubs don't always precede mandates, they sometimes call out examples, which we do not map or sometimes they are simply section headers. When determining if a stub precedes an example, consider the context and the wording. If a document uses words like MUST or SHALL, subsequent citations are probably mandates whereas more passive phrases like 'such as', or 'can include' usually signify informational citations. It is important to note that this is not a hard and fast rule, always use your best judgment based on the way that the document is written and the context of the citation.If the citation calls out an example, that is an informational citation.
