Why centralising audit activity is important
By utilising Legal Compliance for your audit program, you can centralise your processes and save time collating audit findings. The inbuilt reports help to provide greater business insights, allowing you to spot trends and have visibility across departments and staff. Embedding a new audit process can help you to reposition the purpose of audits as a tool to better the position of the firm and allow for support to be provided where needed.
What you can do to centralise audit activity
Schedule file audits to enable auditors to plan their time effectively. Incorporate relevant audit information during scheduling to save time when actioning the audit. Ensure that fee earners are informed about the audits and maintain good communication, as their buy-in is crucial for a successful audit process. Emphasise how the system will guide staff through the audit process, enhancing simplicity and efficiency.
Complete audits, ensuring any mandatory questions are answered before saving. Corrective actions can be allocated to users directly from an audit, with email reminders and task notifications to make tracking and reporting on actions and progress easy.
A verification task can be set up to check if corrective actions have been completed appropriately. This can be assigned to the auditor or designated individual as a final quality check before the audit is marked as complete.
