Access to Audit Management is required.
An audit program is a systematic and documented process that is used to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of an organization's operations, systems, processes, and controls. An audit program is designed to provide independent assurance that an organization is complying with relevant laws, regulations, standards, and its own policies and procedures.
Audits will typically be performed by completing a series of pre-defined questions designed to test compliance. The responses are noted and any deviations/non-conformances are raised as Findings which can later be investigated and their associated actions completed.
