Starting the Audit Trail Process

Deciding where to start involves choosing the contract that requires an audit and assembling team members to start the audit trail. The right team members can make the process easier by focusing on their area of expertise. Take a good look at your team and decide who to include. Chances are it includes members of the contract team, accounting team, and possibly the legal team. At any point during the project, team members may come and go, depending upon your need of their talents. 

Define Your Objective

What are the goals of the audit project? If it is ensuring compliance, what must you include as part of the review process? Defining your objectives and setting goals for reaching them can lead to the next step of establishing a helpful checklist. The right way to manage an audit project is to make sure there’s a clear goal your team can achieve.

Set Realistic Goals

A checklist can help you to identify the right information you need for a successful audit. With helpful contract management software from ContraxAware, it is easier than ever to find the information you need in the database. Once you find it, you can sort it, filter it, and even share it.
