The Audit Management Workspace is a single-pane view for an audit supervisor and auditor to view the overall audit timeline and status, track budget and resources for engagements, track high-priority observations and issues, and monitor ongoing control testing and audit task progress. The workspace lets the audit supervisors decide what to audit, assign budgets and resources to audits, and track how the audits are going. Auditors can test the effectiveness of controls, request evidence, create observations, and complete other audit activities. Using the central issue management capability, they can also define the remediation plan of action and follow up on issues to ensure that the gaps are fixed as quickly as possible.
