Submitting an Audit for Approval

A Compliance Officer submits a ready audit to its assigned Compliance Audit Approver for review. Before submitting an audit for approval, check that the audit approval workflow is enabled if you want to use a formal approval process for your audit. For more information, see Audit Approval Workflow Settings. The audit for approval must be Ready for Submission and every audit control must have a Pass or Fail value. Audit Insights must also contain generated or manually entered content.

To submit an audit for approval:

The audit changes to Pending Approval and becomes locked for editing. The assigned approver receives an email with the audit details, comments, and a link to the audit.

1. Go to Compliance 360 > Audit Documentation > Audits.

2. Open the Ready for Submission audit.

3. Click Submit for Approval.

4. In the Approver field, select a user with the Compliance Audit Approver role.

5. In the Comments field, enter comments for the approver.

6. Click Submit for Approval.
