Strategic Plan

The strategic plan is a multi-year view of which auditable entities will be audited and when. It ensures full coverage of your audit universe over the planning horizon.

The strategic matrix

The strategic plan is displayed as a matrix:

  • Rows — Auditable entities from your universe
  • Columns — Years in the planning horizon (typically 3-5 years)
  • Cells — Indicate which year each entity is scheduled for audit

Entities are color-coded by risk level (High, Moderate, Low) so you can quickly see the risk distribution across years.

Building the plan

  1. Navigate to Strategic Plan from the sidebar
  2. LOQI pre-populates based on risk scores and audit cycles:
    • High-risk entities appear every year
    • Moderate-risk entities every 2 years
    • Low-risk entities every 3 years
  3. Drag entities between years to adjust the schedule
  4. Ensure each year has a balanced workload
