Conclusion

The Conclusion module closes the audit work with two report instances: draft audit report and final audit report. The first is iterative and used to validate findings with the auditee; the second is the final document, frozen.

Draft audit report​

The draft consolidates automatically all the information loaded during execution (project, review, working papers, issues). It can be generated at any stage, even before execution is finished, to make early validation with the auditee easier.

Create a draft audit report​

  1. Conclusion → Draft audit reports → New.
  2. Fill in:
    • Review: one currently in execution (from Execution → Audit reports).
    • Issue date.
    • Conclusion: free text.
    • Procedures applied: free text.
    • Report recipients: free text.
  3. Create draft audit report.

Prerequisite: a review must exist in Execution.

Preview and downloads​

In the read-only view of the draft, in the lower-right corner there are download options:

  • Normal, summary, or expanded (PDF).
  • Score sheet.
  • Working papers in a ZIP organized by folders and coded.

Approve the draft​

The system validates that all required fields are complete before allowing approval.

  1. Select View details to see what is missing.
  2. As you fill in, use Check now to refresh the pending list.
  3. When nothing remains, the green approved label appears.

Once approved:

  • Send by email is enabled.
  • The final audit report can be generated.

Status of issues​

To approve the draft, each issue must be at least in To regularize or Being implemented status (or in a final status such as Implemented, Implemented/Audited, Cancelled, Dismissed, Differs in criteria, or Risk assumed). While there are issues in Incomplete, the draft cannot be approved.

Final audit report​

The final audit report is the official document. It is created exclusively by the supervisor, and only from a previously approved draft. Once issued, the fields are frozen.

Create a final audit report​

  1. Conclusion → Final audit reports → New.
  2. Fill in:
    • Review: an approved draft (from Conclusion → Draft audit reports).
    • Issue date.
    • Closing date: until when working papers can keep being attached to the final audit report.
    • Conclusion, Procedures applied, Recipients: free text.
    • Minutes: reference to the board's minutes if applicable.
  3. Create final audit report.

What happens when the final audit report is issued​

  • The report fields are frozen and cannot be edited.
  • Send by email is permanently enabled.
  • The associated issues are notified automatically to auditees to start follow-up. If several finals are issued the same day, notifications are grouped and sent together at 8 PM (configurable per organization).
  • If a satisfaction survey is associated (Administration → Questionnaires), it is sent together with the final audit report notification.

Downloads​

Same options as the draft, available from the lower-right corner.

Scoring system​

Mawidabp weights the score of each control objective by its importance (defined in best practices) and computes a final rating for each review. The manual scale the auditor assigns to tests (0 to 10) is combined with the weight of each objective to obtain the result.

Reports​

Conclusion → Reports groups the reports related to final audit reports: lists by period, by unit, by tag, with metrics on findings by status, and exportable to PDF, Excel, or CSV.

Next step​

With the final audit report issued, the cycle continues in Follow-up: the auditee implements the corrective actions and the auditor verifies the evidence until each finding is closed.
