Testing Overview
The Execution tab is where audit fieldwork happens. You execute procedures, collect evidence, record test results, and document exceptions.
The Execution tab
The Execution tab organizes your work by objective. Each objective expands to show its procedures, with status badges, assignees, and progress indicators.
Procedure cards
Each procedure card shows:
- Title and brief description
- Status badge (Not Started, In Progress, Testing Complete, etc.)
- Assigned auditor
- Due date (with overdue warning if past due)
- Progress — number of samples tested vs. total
Click on a procedure to open its detail page and begin testing.
Testing workflow
- Open the procedure from the Execution tab
- Add sample items — manually or by importing from a spreadsheet
- Test each sample against the defined attributes
- Record results — Pass, Fail, or N/A for each attribute
- Document exceptions when attributes fail
- Complete the workpaper with a conclusion
- Submit for review when done
