Create a Proposed Audit

When you create an audit program, you define the proposed external and internal audits that are planned during that time period. A benefit of using audit programs is that audits will be automatically generated for you on the specified dates.

To create a proposed audit:

1. Navigate to the Audit Program, open the Proposed Audits section and click Create.

   

2. Specify if you want to create a Proposed External Audit or Proposed Internal Audit and click Continue.

   

3. Fill out all required fields. Note the following.

   • Auditee: For external audits, this is the supplier being audited.

   • Audited Department: Only displays for internal proposed audits. For internal audits, you need to provide either the Auditee or Audited Department.

   • Owning Organization: Can either be your organization (in house audits) or another supplier (outsourced audits).

   • Planned Start Date: When part of an audit program, audits will be created automatically 14 days prior to the planned start date.

4. Click Save.
