The SAMA Audits module lets you plan and record assessments against the framework - whether internal self-assessments, formal SAMA reviews, internal audit cycles, or third-party assessments - and to track the findings each one raises through to closure.
The audit register
The audits page lists every audit with its type, status, date, and a findings count (total and open). Click New audit to plan one, choosing a title, an audit type, a date, and the scope.
| Audit type | Status |
|---|---|
| Self-assessment | Planned, In progress, Completed, or Cancelled |
| SAMA review | |
| Internal audit | |
| Third-party audit |
Audit detail
Open an audit to see its full record. The Edit action updates the status, assessor name and organisation, audit date, scope, summary, and overall conclusion as the engagement progresses.
Findings
Each audit carries a table of findings. Use Add finding to record one, and the edit (pencil) and delete (trash) actions on any row to maintain it.
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Finding ref | Your reference for the finding (required). |
| Classification | Non-conformity, Observation, or Opportunity for improvement. |
| Control ref | The SAMA sub-control the finding relates to. |
| Description | What was found (required). |
| Corrective action | The agreed remediation. |
| Status | Open, In progress, Remediated, or Closed. Moving to Remediated or Closed records the closure date automatically. |
| Due date | Target date for the corrective action. |
Adding and editing findings requires the sama.edit permission; deleting a finding requires sama.manage.
