Case Manager User Guide

Case Manager User Guide

Overview

Case Manager provides increased efficiency to the auditing process through streamlined workflows that are fully customizable by the organization. The navigation element that allows users to quickly parse by assignments, audit types, auditors, and status creates high visibility for the audit manager. Another customizable feature is the audit process, which improves accuracy for the entire team through standardization. Better yet, Case Manager does not require user maintenance because it’s a SaaS product. As a result, Case Manager provides a secure, streamlined audit process that allows you to instantly see the performance of your audit program, its impacts, potential challenges, and individual and team performance.

Case Manager was purpose built to be flexible and adaptable to many types of business cases where work is assigned, tracked and managed. How you use Case Manager and the values of certain fields may be different depending on your organization’s set up.
