Approved Strategies

The STRATEGY | Approved strategies page provides a central location to view all approved versions of the Internal Audit Strategy for the entity. The page does not store files directly but instead integrates with the Cloud File Management system. Any document uploaded to Cloud and tagged with “IA – Approved Strategy” is automatically displayed on this page, allowing users to easily access the approved Strategy documents associated with the Internal Audit Function.

The objective of STRATEGY | Approved strategies is to provide a single reference point where users can access the approved versions of the Internal Audit Strategy stored within the Cloud File Management system.

STRATEGY | Approved strategies can be found on the sidebar within the STRATEGY module of the IA Governance app.

Approved strategies are displayed in a table view, presenting the documents stored in the Cloud File Management system that are tagged as “IA – Approved Strategy”. The table displays file information and metadata that allows users to identify and manage the Strategy documents, and includes the following columns:

• File type – Icon showing the file type (e.g. PDF)
• Name – The name of the uploaded file
• Last modified / Created – Dates showing when the file was last updated or created
• Last modified by / Created by – Who last modified or created the file
• Created – Dates showing when the file was last updated or created
• Created by – Who last modified or created the file
• Workflow stage (colour, name, sequence, entered date) – Displays workflow information if used
• File size – The size of the file
• Description, Folder path, Folder – Additional file details
• Confidential, Tags – Security and classification options
• Retention details – Fields for retention period and related comments

The user can select which columns they want to see by clicking on the column chooser.
