Recurring audits with manager sign-off

Audits can now be scheduled to recur on their own, and each one freezes the assessment the moment it is approved.

The SAMRISK Team 3 min read

Audits are the record you reach for when a regulator, an insurer, or a board asks what the state of a building was on a given date. That record only holds up if it was captured at the time and cannot be edited afterwards. This release makes both of those things automatic.

Schedule once, recur on its own

You can now set an audit to repeat on a fixed interval. Schedule the first one, choose the cadence, and SAMRISK generates the next audit when it falls due. The assessor sees it waiting in their list rather than relying on a reminder in a separate calendar.

This removes the most common gap we hear about: an audit that was planned, agreed, and then quietly missed because the person responsible moved on or the spreadsheet was never reopened.

Each audit freezes when it is signed off

When a manager signs off an audit, SAMRISK locks it. The assessment is frozen as it stood at the point of approval. Later changes to the building, the risk assessment, or the team do not rewrite history. If you open an audit from last quarter, you see exactly what was true last quarter.

That matters for two reasons. Historical reports stay accurate, and the audit trail shows a clear sequence of point-in-time records rather than one document that keeps shifting under you.

What you need to do

Existing audits are unaffected. To use recurrence, open an audit, set a schedule, and assign an approver. Sign-off works the same way it always has — the locking happens behind it.
