Quick side note - In the audit world, objectives have various different names. They are often called procedures or requirements or 'regs' by many as well. So, just so you know, they all mean the same thing, we just call them objectives items. ;)

The 'Objectives Tab' is where we say the auditors will live and breathe. This is where, once the risk assessment is done, the auditors go to conduct the audit requirements that they have. So for an example, for The Garland Group, this is where we go to conduct our line item by line item review of the FFIEC Technology Handbooks.

Areas of interest:

• Add Objective - This is where you can add an individual objective item to the project that wasn't imported via a template.
• Manage Categories - This is where you can manage the description and amount of categories needed to be created.

This page allows you to see, at a categorical level, the overall risk of each particular section. Here's a brief definition of the meaning of each column:

• Categories - This column lists the category labels of the objective area. You have control of adding/removing/editing category levels via the 'Manage Categories' link above.
• Overall Risk - This column is a 'reference column' from the risk assessment portion to give you a quick snapshot of the risk profile per category. The intent is to help guide you towards auditing the highest risk objectives first.
• Last Modified - This column shows the last update to this section by anyone who has access to the project.
• Progress - This is a progress bar indicator showing the completion level of each category.
