Preparing for an audit
What this is
When an audit or inspection is upcoming, your evidence base is your primary defence. Cleverer organises evidence by category and date, making it straightforward to produce what an auditor needs.
What to do
Review the Evidence Vault for completeness. Check that governance policies are adopted and current. Ensure your check-in cadence is up to date. Resolve any open incidents and issues. Generate a compliance report.
Why it matters
Audit preparation is stressful when evidence is scattered across email, shared drives, and spreadsheets. A centralised, timestamped evidence base dramatically reduces preparation time.
What happens next
Share the compliance report with your auditor. Follow up on any gaps identified during the review.
