About Audits

Many organizations must adhere to regulations and standards in the course of business. These regulations mandate that certain records be maintained for review and that company officers are aware of business processes and are responsible to ensure compliance to applicable laws.

@task lets you set up auditing functions to track business processes and record data about your project management processes. You can enable the Record Changes functions for your projects, tasks, and other objects in any or all of the four available areas. Table 12.1 lists and describes these areas. These recorded changes are toggled in the Related Information tab when creating a new project and in the Resources tab when creating a new task. Figure 12.1 demonstrates where the Recorded Changes options are located as seen from the Related Information tab.
