### **Understanding the Audit Lifecycle Report**

The report consists of six key sections aligned to various audit phases and team responsibilities.

#### **1. Audit Overview**

This section offers a high-level summary, including:

* Key audit stages
* Metadata such as audit type, framework, and zone
* A visual progress tracker indicating audit completion status

#### **2. Status of Audit Requirements**

Displays how audit requirements are distributed across four stages:

* **Evidence Collection**
* **Internal Review**
* **Ready for Audit**
* **Audit Completed**

Use this section to identify stages that require further action or input.

#### **3. Audit Task Summary**

Summarises the status of all audit tasks:

* **To Do**
* **In Progress**
* **Completed**

Additional insights include:

* Percentage of tasks pending

This section helps identify bottlenecks and promote accountability.

#### **4. Evidence by Type**

Groups collected evidence by submission source:

This overview helps managers assess evidence completeness and source dependencies.
