Navigating a defined audit universe

Use this guide to understand the workflows associated with the audit universe after it is defined.

Accessing defined audit universe

On the Audit home page, select Go to audit universe in the Audit universe tile.

Note

If the audit universe is not defined, then Define audit universe appears in the Audit universe tile. For more information, go to Defining audit universe.

The Audit universe page opens. This page contains two sections, Coverage displays the extent to which the various elements within an organization are included in the audit universe, and Audit universe lists the auditable entities that you selected while defining this audit universe.

The following guide helps you navigate the Audit universe page.

You can change the name and frequency of audits, view relevant dates and taxonomy.

Selecting an audit risk assessment name opens it in a new tab. Audits Lists audits that include the selected auditable entity. Selecting an audit name opens it in the Audit page.

This action is permanent.
