Abstract
An audit system formally communicates the results of an audit to company officers. The audit system allows company officers to review the audit information in detail to identify specific risks, their associated financial controls, and the potentially impacted financial accounts. The audit system displays a summary of audit results identifying specific financial items, risks, business processes, and organizations that fail to meet audit requirements. The audit system can also summarize audit results by their associated financial items, enabling company officers to see the potential impact of audit results on specific financial items. Similarly, the audit system can summarize audit results by their associated organizations, enabling company officers to see the source of audit shortcomings. If a company officer decides to certify the audit results, the audit system documents the company officers'"'"' approval. The audit system can receive an electronic signature to record the company officer'"'"'s certification of audit results.
