1. What is the Audit Report and where to access it in the GMS?

The GMS allows the users to download all audit data as a working Excel document where multiple partners can be selected. For more information on the project audit, please see the dedicated article on Project Audit on the Help Portal.

 To generate such a document, go to report > report > Audit report 

2. How to generate an Audit Report (filters)? 

In the Audit Report page, enter your research requirements using the filter options, and click on [export to excel]. If you click on [export to excel] without applying filters, you will generate a full dump of all audit reports of the Pooled Funds in which you are registered.

A description of the filters is available below the screenshot.

Filters description:

• Pooled Fund: Select from the drop-down list the Pooled Fund. You will only be able to select the Pooled Fund(s) in which you are registered.
• Allocation year: select from the drop-down list the allocation year by ticking its checkbox. You can select multiple allocations.
• Partner type: Select from the drop-down list the Organization type by ticking its checkbox. You can select multiple organizations.
• Partner: Select from the drop-down list the Organization by ticking its checkbox. You can select multiple organizations.

Then, click on [export to excel]. The excel will be downloaded in your computer, by default in the ‘Downloads’ folder, except if you configured it differently.
