Assigning an Audit Result

If audit finding approval is required, then once the audit findings are approved, a result can be assigned to the audit. If audit finding approval is not required, then a result can be assigned to the audit once the audit has been performed. Using this option, an audit result can be reported before the audit and all of its actions are completed.

NOTE: If the Assign Audit Result option is not used, then a result is assigned to the audit at the end of the workflow in the Verifying Audit Completion step.

From the Audit Detail record, click Other Actions > Assign Audit Result.
Result: The Assign Audit Result window is displayed.

Verify the final result for the audit, such as Pass or Fail, that was assigned by default based on the audit score. If necessary, the audit result can be overwritten by clicking the drop down button and selecting another result.
Enter or zoom to select the date when verification was completed. This field defaults to the current date.
Enter a numeric value for the Audit Total Cost. If Effectiveness Review? is set to No in this form, then when the result is assigned and it is signed off, then any value entered into this field is added to the Audit Program Total Cost field in the audit program.
Specify whether or not the audit requires a follow-up in the Requires Follow-up field. If Yes is selected, then a Follow-up By Date is required and a Follow-up task is routed.

NOTE: The Requires Follow-up field is not visible if the audit is an adhoc audit.

Specify whether or not an effectiveness review is required for the audit. If Yes is selected, then an Effectiveness Review Interval and Review Plan Description are required. A Verify Action Plan Effectiveness task is then routed when the verification task is signed off.
Enter a Closure Summary.
Add an attachment, if necessary.
Click the Sign-off button.
Result: The Sign-off window is displayed.
Enter your user ID and password and then click the Sign-off button.
Result: The Result window is displayed. The Result window is a window that displays after the audit result is assigned and asks the user where they would like to go next, such as to the Audit Detail or back to the Portal Page.
