Execution, approval & evaluation

Purpose🔗

In the Execution, Approval & Evaluation section you document the audit results: findings, assessments, recommended measures, and the final approval. This is where the actual audit evidence for internal and external auditors is created.

Usage – Execution🔗

  1. Open the desired audit in the Execution section.
  2. Systematically go through the audit items and document:
    • Fulfillment in %
    • Description of the implementation

Usage – Approval & Completion🔗

  1. After completing the execution, proceed to the Approval step.
  2. Review the completeness of the documented audit items and findings.
  3. Formally approve the audit and document who granted the approval.
  4. The audit is then marked as completed.

Evaluation & Reports🔗

  • Use the audit overviews to:
  • view the status of open and completed audits,
  • track the progress of measures,
  • identify trends across multiple audit cycles.
  • Export — if available — audit reports for distribution to management, clients, or auditors.

Notes & Best Practices🔗

  • Maintain documentation so that a third party (e.g. external auditor) can understand the results without having been present at the audit.
  • Link audit findings with existing structures (risks, measures, assets) wherever possible to avoid redundancies and make connections visible.
