Audit Preparation Workflow

Structured audit preparation procedure with evidence assembly, completeness checks, gap remediation, and internal sign-off gates.

Capabilities

• Assembles evidence packages organized by regulatory framework and control objective
• Runs automated completeness checks against audit requirements
• Routes evidence gaps for remediation with deadlines and escalation rules
• Manages internal review and sign-off gates before evidence submission

Overview

The Audit Preparation Workflow defines the step-by-step process for preparing for regulatory audits — from evidence assembly through completeness verification, gap remediation, and internal sign-off. It replaces the manual scramble that typically precedes audit engagements with a structured, repeatable process.

How It Works

When an audit is scheduled, the workflow activates by assembling evidence packages from the Evidence Collection Pipeline, organized by the relevant framework and control objectives. Automated completeness checks identify gaps, which are routed to responsible owners with clear deadlines and escalation rules. Once evidence is complete, the workflow manages internal review and sign-off gates before the package is finalized for the auditors.
