    • Use the Duplicate as audit entry action to copy a second-line control, control objective, risk, or risk statement into a new third-line record. Each source record can be duplicated only once.

    Before you begin

    The source record must be a second-line record. The action is hidden on third-line records. The action is available on the following four objects only:
    • Control objective
    • Control
    • Risk statement
    • Risk
    Note:
    If a third-line manager opens the original second-line record and selects Duplicate as audit entry, an error indicates that the record cannot be duplicated again. A source record can be duplicated only once and cannot be converted again to second line.

    Role required: sn_audit_ws.third_line_manager

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Audit > Audit Workspace.
    2. Select the list icon .
    3. Open the second-line record to duplicate.
    4. From the More actions menu, select Duplicate as audit entry.
      A new record opens with the same field values as the source record. The Name field is prefixed with Copy followed by the source record name. For example, a copy of Loss of Confidentiality opens as Copy Loss of Confidentiality.Duplicate as audit entry option on the record page.
    5. Optional: Adjust any field values that should differ from the source record.
    6. Select Save.
      The new record is created as a third-line record and is stored as a copy of the source record. It retains a reference to the original record in the Audit entry source field, located under the Audit entry check box.
