Expediting Audits Using Online Help

We recommend that all CA Auditor clients use the online help as a primary information source.

Business Value:

All CA product online help offers useful information, but the CA Auditor online help is especially useful for auditors who often need information immediately. By using this tool, auditors can expedite the audit process by quickly finding answers to their questions without the need to confer with technical support personnel. CA Auditor provides comprehensive online help. We designed the online help to promote auditor independence, thereby facilitating a segregation of duties (SOD).

Additional Considerations:

The online help provides consistent information and guidance across the full range of CA Auditor functions by explaining:

• What the CA Auditor function does
• Why the CA Auditor function is significant from a security and integrity perspective
• How to use the CA Auditor function and understand its results
• Checklist items pertinent to this function
• Pertinent primary and line commands pertinent to this function

More Information:

To access online help, press the HELP key within any CA Auditor function. In typical mainframe environments, the help function maps to the PF1 key.
