How do you validate that a PA52 action was approved/what is your audit process?

unknown

We have a process to approve all our personnel actions in PA52 and then we run our PA100 in report mode before we run in update mode.
Our compliance and audit officer asked us how do we prevent fraud if someone in our team runs a one off PA100 to increase an employee pay or processes a PA52 action in immediate without approval. we do have checks and balances and the HR105 audit report but it doesn't reflect if this was an approved change so its hard to catch.
Do you have any better way you track PA52 changes to make sure they are valid/Approved?

My understanding is that if you flag a personnel action as requiring approval, that unless it is approved through the workflow or through PA53, there is no way for the action to be processed by PA100 or as an immediate action. So if you do not give access to PA53 and PA50 to someone who can run PA52 or PA100 then that should get you past compliance
