Creating Audits

In EmpowerID, an audit is a logically named user-defined object for identifying or grouping attestation tasks and running the Recertification policies that generate them. When you create an audit, you link it to a recertification policy. Then when the audit runs, it creates a recertification task for each item in the policy.

1. In the Navigation Sidebar, expand Compliance and click Audit Configuration.
2. From the Audit Configuration page, click the Actions tab and then click Create Audit.
   
   
3. In the Audit Details form that appears, enter a name and description in the Name, Display Name and Description fields, respectively.
4. Select the date you want the audit to start from the Started field.
5. Select the date you want the audit to end from the Due Date field.
6. Type the name of the person to be the audit owner in the Audit Owner field and then click the tile for that person.
7. Optionally set any of these options and then click Save when done.
   • Is Template — Select this option to use this audit as a template for making other audits.

   • Skip Quality Check For Group Membership — Select this option to allow the manager's decisions regarding Group Membership to go directly to fulfillment instead of sending it for approval.

     Sometimes the line manager may not understand the ramifications of removing a person from a group, business role, or management role. For this reason, you generally assign an auditor who is more technical and can understand whether the person really needs to be in the group, business role, or management role in order to perform their duties.

   • Skip Quality Check For Business Role — Select this option to allow the manager's decisions regarding Business Role assignments to go directly to fulfillment instead of sending it for approval.
   • Skip Quality Check For Management Role — Select this option to allow the manager's decisions regarding Management Role assignments to go directly to fulfillment instead of sending it for approval.
