| Audit Tracking | While auditors are preparing for the next audit, the EPOCH Audit Module can track the status of each finding for all previous audits. Through a series of on-screen and printed reports, this comprehensive tracking system will insure that all findings are resolved on time.
The Auditing Module can help you manage all aspects of an audit program:
Before the Audit...
- Lists all unresolved findings from the previous audit.
- Analyze problem areas from previous audits.
- Prints a copy of the last audit report.
After the Audit...
- Assists in writing the audit report by listing the comments from other audits with similar findings.
- Records the names of team members, time spent on audit, and travel costs.
- Records the date of each update on each finding.
- Determines which action plans are due or late.
When the Action Plan is approved...
- Records interim solutions, projected completion dates, and final solutions.
- Lists findings that have no action plan.
Status Reports
- Produces reports on late findings and generates tickler reports for each facility.
- Informs management on the number of resolved and unresolved findings.
- Identifies common problem areas to help proactively manage environmental affairs.

- Reduces paper by streamlining the audit tracking process.
- Saves time by allowing facilities to update the status of each finding on-line.

The Audit Module is integrated with the EPOCH Calendar Module to E-Mail warning messages to a user defined mailing list when Audit Findings are scheduled to be resolved.
