Audit types
Introduction
SoftExpert Audit allows for the creation of different audit types, adapting audit planning according to the organization's scenario and needs.
With this component, it is possible to plan and execute internal audits, supplier audits, customer audits, and external audits, in addition to creating audit projects.
Just select the audit type in the General tab.
The type of the audit that will be conducted is chosen during the creation of the audit categories in a simple way:
| 1st party | It corresponds to internal audits, that is, when the audit is conducted at the company by its own team or hired professionals. |
| 2nd party - Supplier | When the audit is conducted on a supplier, which is recorded in SoftExpert Supplier. |
| 2nd party - Customer | When the audit is conducted on a customer, which is recorded in SoftExpert Customer. |
| 3rd party | It corresponds to external audits, that is, when a company is hired to conduct an audit. |
In addition to choosing the audit type, in the category, it is also possible to enable the creation of an audit project.
Simply select the Project option in the Form of execution field of the Step tab.
Once the audit type is selected in the category, most of the configurations remains the same during the planning of the audit, which is done through the Management > Audit > Planning (AU009) menu.
See which fields differ during the planning, according to the selected audit type:
Internal audit - 1st party
When accessing the audit scope in the Audit data during the planning of an audit, it is necessary to specify only the scope period.
Supplier audit - 2nd party
When accessing the audit scope in the Audit data during the planning of an audit, it is necessary to specify the supplier that will be audited..
The suppliers available for selection have been previously created in SoftExpert Supplier.
Customer audit - 2nd party
When accessing the General tab on the Audit data screen during the planning of an audit, it is necessary to specify the customer that will be audited.
The customers available for selection have been previously created in SoftExpert Customer.
External audit - 3rd party
When accessing the audit scope on the Audit data screen during the planning of an audit, it is necessary to specify the business unit that will be audited and its representative. This representative is the link between the auditors and the party being audited, that is, this person accompanies the auditor during the audit and is available in case of any questions or needs.
If no unit is selected, it is understood that the audit will not be restricted to a specific unit.
The business units available for selection have been previously created in SoftExpert Administration.
The configuration of audit projects depends on records created directly in SoftExpert Project; see more details by clicking here.
