Automated auditing and compliance check scheduling

Purpose

1.1. Automate the scheduling, initiation, tracking, and documentation of internal and external auditing processes with compliance checks tailored to regulations and custom policies relevant to labor unions, aiming to ensure all activities are logged, deviations detected, deadlines met, and compliance data is seamlessly accessible by management and auditors for regulatory reporting and union governance.
1.2. Automates repetitive compliance verifications, validation of document completeness, certification expiry tracking, policy updates, and notifications for overdue or upcoming audits.
1.3. Automator schedules routine or ad-hoc audits, generates audit checklists, assigns tasks, automates follow-ups, collects audit results, maintains audit trail, and streamlines compliance processes across union operations.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Automated triggers at preset intervals (monthly, quarterly, annually), event-based (policy changes, staff onboarding/offboarding), or manual (compliance officer initiation).
2.2. Automated detection of document expiries, regulation updates, or compliance policy revisions triggers re-audit or supplementary checks.
2.3. Automating reminders for pending actions, follow-ups for incomplete audit tasks, or escalation if compliance deadlines are not met.
