Organization and units

An organization in Mawidabp is the root entity that groups all the information: auditable units, users, plans, reviews, and findings. Each organization has its own URL, its own parameters, and its own data, fully isolated from the rest. This page covers how to create an organization and how to model its auditable structure.

Create an organization

1. Administration → Organization → Management → New.
2. Fill in:
   • Name: the name of the company or unit.
   • Prefix: subdomain users will use to access (<prefix>.mawidabp.com).
   • Description (optional): free text.
   • Logo (optional): can be uploaded after creating the organization.
   • Corporate (optional): mark this organization as corporate to give it cross-cutting access to all organizations in the instance.
3. Create organization.

Once created, you can access it with the URL you generated and sign in as administrator to configure the rest.

Organizational units and business units

Mawidabp models the auditable structure in two levels:

• Organizational unit: grouper. Groups business units under a common criterion.
• Business unit: concrete auditable unit, to which projects are tied.

Examples

Organizational unit	Business units
Central Processes	Treasury, Accounting, Accounts Payable, Payments
IT	Infrastructure, Development, Security
Branches	Branch A, Branch B, Branch C
Procurement	Purchasing, Vendors, Payments

Group by process, by management line, by geography, or by activity: whatever makes the most sense for the audit team.

Create an organizational unit

1. Administration → Organization → Organizational units → New.
2. Name.

Create a business unit

Inside an organizational unit:

1. Add business unit.
2. Fill in:
   • Name.
   • Label: the text that will appear in the reports.
   • Special project label (optional).
   • External: mark if the unit is external (a regulator, an external audit, etc.).

You can add as many business units as needed.

Business unit types

If you need to categorize business units (for example, to distinguish "branches" from "distribution centers"), define business unit types in Administration → Organization → Business unit types. You then assign them when creating or editing units.

Sectors and subsidiaries

For large organizations with geographical or corporate openness, Mawidabp offers two additional dimensions:

• Sectors: internal functional division (for example, within a branch, customer-facing, cashier, back office sectors).
• Subsidiaries: related legal entities (controlled companies, affiliates).

They are not mandatory: a simple structure with organizational units + business units is enough.

Digital signatures

From Administration → Organization → Digital signatures you load the signatures that will appear in draft and final audit reports. They are uploaded as images, associated with users, and optionally included when creating each review (by ticking Include signature).

Organization options

Some organization-specific options are configured from Administration → Organization → Options:

• Logo for reports.
• Footer in PDFs.
• Legal and header text.
• Email send configuration (sender, signature).

Global view

The main organization view shows the full tree: organizational units with their business units inside. From here you can navigate quickly and, in the Planning module, assign projects to each unit.

Next steps

With the organization configured, the next step is to onboard users and profiles and adjust the general parameters before starting to plan.
