Use your audit software correctly to ensure an effective and effecient audit of high quality.
One of the most cited root causes for audit deficiencies is insufficient knowledge of the audit software used. With technology improving at a rapid rate, it can either enhance the audit, or prove to be a headache if employees are not competent to use the tools.
Draftworx can ensure that your audit file is complete and compliant with the standards, but if not used properly, there can be deficiencies in your file.
This course will explain the planning and finalisation documents in Draftworx, how to complete them and how they interact to build your auditfile.
