Submitting and Validating the Work Program
The work program is submitted then validated via the audit workflow.
Submitting the work program
The lead auditor submits the work program to the audit director from the audit:
To submit the work program:
1. Click the icon of the audit and select Work Program To Be Submitted > Submit Work Program.
A window appears in which you attach audit documents, such as the Excel file including audit program detail. See Consulting the work program under Excel.
2. Click OK.
This transition in the audit workflow sends a notification mail to the audit director. This mail includes a link to the application and the task to be validated, as well as attached documents if appropriate.
Validating work programs
From the notification mail the audit director can access the audit to be validated. The audit director can also ask to review the work program if elements are missing or if he/she considers it unsatisfactory.
To validate the work program:
*Click the audit icon and select Work Program To Be Validated > Validate Work Program.
When the work program has been validated, activities are automatically submitted to the auditors concerned.
