Audit tasks are completed throughout an engagement and provide documented evidence that
the organization is complying with external regulations and internal policies.  
Audit tasks can be:

* Control test
* Activity
* Interview
* Walkthrough
{#audit-task-mangmt-ws__ul_rt3_fkk_4qb}

The control tests can be generated and assigned in Validate or Fieldwork state. But other audit tasks like activity, interview, and walkthrough can be created in
Scope state as well.

When audit tasks are created or reassigned, a notification is sent to the assigned user. A
notification is also sent when the task reaches 75% of its planned duration.
