The Audit Process

A structured, repeatable process that takes contract auditing from ad-hoc spreadsheets to governed, evidence-backed compliance verification.

Plan
Define audit scope and parameters
Assign
Assign qualified auditors
Execute
Start and conduct the audit
Findings
Document with evidence uploads
Corrective Actions
Track remediation to closure
Sign-Off
Formal acknowledgement

Audit Plan Creation

Create structured audit plans that define what will be audited, which parameters will be checked, and what compliance criteria apply. Use templates for recurring audit types to save time.

Audit Plan Definition
Define audit scope — which contracts, which clauses, which compliance criteria. Attach reference documents and checklists.
Audit Parameter Templates
Create reusable parameter templates for common audit types — SLA audits, pricing audits, delivery compliance, quality checks.
Risk-Based Scheduling
Prioritize audits based on contract value, vendor risk rating, and time since last audit.
Audit Calendar
View planned, in-progress, and completed audits across all contracts on a unified calendar.

Auditor Assignment & Execution

Assign qualified auditors to each plan and manage the full audit execution lifecycle. Start audits, track progress, and handle cancellations with proper documentation.

Auditor Assignment
Assign one or more auditors per plan based on expertise, availability, and conflict-of-interest checks.
Start & Complete Workflows
Formally start audits to begin the execution clock. Mark complete when all parameters have been reviewed.
Audit Progress Tracking
Track which parameters have been reviewed, which findings have been documented, and what remains.
Cancel with Reason
Cancel audits when circumstances change — contract terminated, vendor replaced, scope change. Reason and approval required.

Finding Documentation & Evidence

Document audit findings with structured severity classification and attach evidence. Every finding links to the specific contract clause or parameter that was evaluated.

Structured Finding Entry
Document findings with title, description, severity (critical, major, minor, observation), and affected clause reference.
Evidence Upload & Attachment
Attach supporting evidence — photos, documents, screenshots, correspondence — directly to each finding.
Finding Classification
Classify findings by type — non-compliance, deviation, risk, improvement opportunity — for trend analysis.
Finding History per Contract
View all historical findings for a contract across multiple audit cycles. Track whether recurring issues are being addressed.

Corrective Actions & Tracking

Every finding can trigger corrective actions with assigned owners, deadlines, and follow-up verification. Track remediation from identification to verified closure.

Corrective Action Assignment
Assign corrective actions to responsible parties with clear descriptions, deadlines, and expected outcomes.
Status Tracking & Escalation
Track corrective action status — open, in progress, completed, overdue. Automatic escalation for overdue items.
Verification of Closure
Auditors verify that corrective actions have been effectively implemented before marking them closed.
Preventive Action Recommendations
Document preventive measures to stop recurring findings — process changes, additional controls, training needs.

Compliance Scoring & Sign-Off

Generate compliance scores from audit findings. Formal sign-off and acknowledgement workflows ensure all stakeholders review and accept audit results.

Compliance Score Calculation
Automatic compliance scoring based on findings count, severity weights, and parameter coverage. Score per audit and per vendor.
Summary Dashboard
Visual dashboard showing compliance scores across vendors, contracts, and time periods. Identify trends and outliers.
Audit Sign-Off Workflow
Formal sign-off by lead auditor, audit manager, and contract owner. Digital signatures with timestamp.
Acknowledgement by Vendor
Share audit summary with vendors for acknowledgement. Track vendor response and acceptance of findings.
