Now you're in the Audit Management Service (AMS) application where you will be able to follow up your audit. 

AMS is accessible by Audit Contacts (AuCo) nominated by audited organisations to carry out their audit related tasks. In the case of outsourced audits, the External Auditor Firms (EAF) appointed by the Commission to carry out the audit will also access AMS.

The Audit Management Service interface provides three levels of information:

  1. Audit information - audit data
  2. Process information - process description and reference, process timeline
  3. Task information - actions to be performed to complete the task
