Approving an Audit Program

If the Perform Audit Program Approval? policy is set to Yes in the audit program, then once the audit program is reviewed, the approver assignee receives email notification . In order for the audit program to be sent for review, the planned audits must be routed for Approval and at least one planned audit must be Marked for Completion in the audit program. When the audit program is approved, the approved planned audits(that were marked for completion) statuses become Planned. If the audit program is rejected, then the audit program will be directed back to the Define Audit Program window.

From Audit Workspace - All Tasks > Audit Program - All Open Tasks on the Portal Page, click the Approve Audit Program link for the appropriate record.
Result: The Approve Audit Program window is displayed.

Review the audit program information.
Select either Approve or Reject as the action and enter a comment. If Reject is selected, the Comment field becomes required.
