Class Description

Audit resolution, follow-up, implementation, and reporting is a responsibility shared by the
audit organization, the auditee organization follow-up coordinator and action officials.
This responsibility is described in a variety of laws and OMB Circulars to provide a basis for
accountability of the audited entities in responding to audit recommendations, reaching
resolution and implementing the agreed corrective actions to reduce the risk of loss, improve
operational performance and financial integrity in all levels of government.
This course will explore the statutes, guidance and standards for audit recommendations,
resolution, follow-up progress, monitoring and reporting. It will also define the roles and
responsibilities of the audit organization and those designated to perform follow-up,
implementation and reporting and budget submission functions.

• Describe the authority, roles and responsibilities of managers and auditors involved with
audit resolution, follow-up, monitoring and reporting
• Develop timely, meaningful and actionable recommendations that can be agreeably
resolved for appropriate action
• Address disputed recommendations and reach an equitable resolution
• Develop processes for achieving resolution, monitoring and reporting on the status of
corrective action
• Verify, measure and score the value of audit results
