Workflow example
Audit and examination request coordination
Illustrative workflow example. Explore how this work could be organized around clearer inputs, ownership and review.
An evidence request list is shared across departments, but responses and reviewer questions are scattered. An uploaded file is marked complete even though its scope or sufficiency remains unresolved.
A possible workflow
How the work could flow.
Record each request and its responsible provider and reviewer.
Link the requested period, scope and source expectations.
Collect material through the approved channel.
Track reviewer acceptance or return for clarification separately from upload.
Prepare an index of provided material and unresolved requests.
What your team would receive.
A request record and evidence index showing what was provided, by whom and what still needs review.
Who makes the decision.
Audit professionals determine sufficiency and conclusions. Authorized staff approve representations; the workflow does not guarantee an examination result or independent assurance.
What to measure.
Track repeated requests, preparation effort, missing source references and items reopened after submission.
Where to begin.
Use one bounded request list. Agree access, retention and the difference between received, reviewed and accepted before automating reminders.
