General information surrounding the audit finding
(such as its priority, impact classification, exception type, critical
dates, etc.) is displayed along with the description of the audit finding
and the internal audit’s recommendation, if applicable. The following
buttons are described below:
Action
Plan is composed by the auditee,
Management
Summaries are composed before each scheduled audit commitee
updating the action plan.
Supporting
Documents and URLs are attached by the auditee and are "point-in-time"
copies of the original documents or links to internal or external
URLs.
Responses
/ Comments allows the auditee to delegate
and bring in-house experts into the remediation process. The
conversation thread between these individuals substantiating
the process is documented. Once a comment is added and saved,
an email message is queued up to be released. This function
acts as a project-task manager for the
auditee.
Mark
Audit Point Completed allows the auditee to determine when
the remediation process has been completed. Once selected an
email is immediately sent to the assigned auditor responsible
for followed-up work.
