Through this screen, it is possible to define the specific configurations for the different object types that compose the reference requirement structure of an audit:

Requirement structure configuration

Requirement structure example

Reference requirement with different object types in the structure

RR01 - Reference requirement

1 - Guidance or lower level requirement

1.1 - Lowest level requirement

1.1.1 - Reference verification item

1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2 - Lowest level verification item

00001 - Audit test

Q01 and Q02 - Question

SE Audit allows editing the evaluation criteria for each object type that composes the structure of a reference requirement, and it is possible to either follow the configuration applied to this reference requirement or define specific rules for each object type. To follow the same rules of the evaluation criterion applied to the reference requirement, the "Inherit requirement configuration" option must be enabled. If you wish to apply specific rules to a certain object type, disable this option and apply the desired configurations:

Audit criterion for requirement
Audit evaluation criterion	Evaluation criterion to be applied to this object type.
Default conformity level	Desirable default conformity level for the requirements that follow the selected criterion.
Calculate the value of the requirements and their conformity percentage based on	▪Immediately lower level objects: Objects that are one level below the reference object. ▪Lowest level requirements: Requirements that do not have other sub-requirements below their structure, but may have verification items or audit tests (In the example, it is the "1.1 - Lowest level requirement" requirement). ▪Lowest level objects: Lowest level objects, that is, any object (requirement, reference item or audit test) that does not have any structures below it (In the example, they are the "1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2 - Lowest level verification item 1 and 2" items and the "00001 - Audit test" audit test).

Audit criterion for verification item
Audit evaluation criterion	Evaluation criterion to be applied to this object type.
Default conformity level	Desirable default conformity level for the objects of this type.
Calculate the value of the verification items and their conformity percentage based on	▪immediately lower level objects: Verification items that are a level below a reference requirement (In the example, it is the "1.1.1 - Reference item verification" item). ▪Lowest level objects: Verification items or audit tests that compose a lowest level requirement.

Audit criterion for audit test
Audit evaluation criterion	Audit criterion to be applied to this object type. The test result will be calculated based on the test samples

Audit criterion for sample
Audit evaluation criterion	Audit criterion to be applied to this object type. The test result will be calculated based on the lowest level question

Audit criterion for audit test questions
Audit evaluation criterion	Audit criterion to be applied to this object type.

▪For the execution of the control test, customize the evaluation criteria: When enabled, it allows customizing the audit evaluation criteria in the execution of the risk and control plan control test.

▪Audit evaluation criterion column: Define the criterion to be applied to each object type in the audit.

▪Default conformity level column: Enter the reference conformity level for that object type, if any.

▪Audit test configuration: Select the Configuration to be applied to the audit test.

▪Allow manually changing the conformity level of the upper items by replacing the automatic calculation: Allows the conformity level and its value to be manually edited during the audit execution. This option should be enabled when the automatic generation of the result is not configured in the conformity level of the evaluation criterion.

Save the record to apply the changed configurations.
