Audits – Record Findings from an External Audit

If you have a list of findings from an external audit, you can record those findings in Helm CONNECT and use the system to plan and manage the resulting corrective actions.

To record findings for an external audit

1. From the Compliance menu, select Audits.
2. Click the Audits tab.
3. Select an audit from the list.

   TipUse the filters at the top of the tab to help you quickly find the items you're looking for.

4. Select the correct name from the Auditor list.
5. Select the date from the Recorded list.
6. For each finding you want to add, click Add Finding then enter the details about the finding, including any notes or attachments. Findings can be Non-Conforming, which will require a corrective action, or an Observation, where corrective actions are optional.
7. Do one of the following:
   • To complete the audit, click Complete Audit then click Complete Audit again in the confirmation message. The audit will move to the Plan Corrective Actions stage.
   • To stop working on the audit and return to it later, click Finish Later. Your work will be saved.
   • To discard the audit, click Discard. The audit will be discarded and removed from the list of audits.
