A few words about audit documentation:
- Our documentation should be satisfactory as-is for your audit, but many of the questions are geared toward a U.S. audience.
- Fortunately, our system is very customizable, so if you see something you want changed or added, use our Help Center contact information early and often.
- Bonus: You’ll find yourself at the head of the line for our regular usability updates!
