Audit Type

Create Audit Type

Fill in the required information to create a new audit type. Only Audit Partners can create and delete Audit Types.

Note: The Audit Type Name should be unique for an Audit Firm and should not exceed 50 characters in length.

Update Audit Type

Users can update the remarks for an existing Audit Type after its creation, or enable/disable the Audit Type as required.

Adding Audit Assertions

Audit Assertions are added to an Audit Type from the Audit Assertions Tab.

Audit assertions are the assertions made by the auditee. Different audit types typically would have a set of assertions that the auditor needs to evaluate and comment upon.
