In EmpowerID, an audit is a logically named user-defined , logically named object for identifying or grouping recertification tasks and running the Recertification policies that generate those tasksthem. When After you create an audit, you can add one or more Recertification policies to it to define what you want to audit. Then when the audit runs, it compiles those Recertification policies, creating the appropriate recertification tasks.

Info

In this topic, we demonstrate how to create an audit, and then how to immediately add a Recertification policy to it. However, you do not need to add a Recertification policy to the audit right away. You can wait until you are ready to clearly define what should be audited. If this is your situation, and you want to add Recertification policies to the audit at a later point, see Adding Recertification Policies to Audits.
