Check the evidence and record the Audit Manager's finding decision.
The Auditor describes the exception, records its evidence reference and sets the response due date. Check the business unit, organization and assessment before requesting review. The description should identify the issue a Control Owner can investigate without relying on an earlier meeting.
The Auditor moves the prepared finding from Draft to Pending Approval under the team's review procedure. The Audit Manager opens the evidence and checks that it supports the description. Resolve document access problems before treating the finding as ready for a decision.
The Audit Manager approves a supported finding through the finding review action. Inspect the change to Approved, the review decision and the operation receipt. If the reviewer chooses Return or Reject, record the reason and follow the agreed revision procedure before requesting another review.
The Control Owner reads the reviewed finding and its response due date. Use the finding reference when preparing the corrective response so the next reviewer can connect the proposed work to the issue that prompted it.
