2. In the recommendation properties, select the Action plan page and expand the Actions section.
3. Click New.

*The list available in the Owner field corresponds to the list of auditees defined on the audit.

Submitting the recommendation 
Actions created and assigned to appropriate users constitute an action plan. This action plan is submitted to the lead auditor or the audit director via the recommendations workflow.

The lead auditor or audit director validates the recommendation by return. He can also reject it.
