Prepare for a certification audit

Overview

Get an initiative audit ready and produce the evidence pack an external auditor expects.

Step-by-step

  1. 1 Confirm every control in the initiative has a response and the required evidence is provided and accepted.
  2. 2 From the overview, confirm gaps are remediated or carry an approved exception, and check the 'Exception Register' for anything still pending.
  3. 3 In the sidebar open 'Audit' then 'Universe', build a universe scoped to the in-scope entities and controls, and 'Start Engagement'.
  4. 4 Apply the controls under audit, create tests, and record results to pre-test design and operating effectiveness.
  5. 5 Raise findings for failures and drive their action plans to closure before the external audit.
  6. 6 On the engagement 'Report' tab, generate the Working Paper and Final Report as the evidence pack.
  7. 7 Present audit readiness to leadership in 'Report' then 'Executive Overview' under 'Audit Quality & Findings'.
