Use

In this Customizing activity, you can set up reminders and escalations in Process Control. This is a valuable monitoring tool that stakeholders and workflow owners (recipients) can use to ensure that their control objects are processed appropriately. You can set up:

  • Reminders for automated testing and monitoring, which includes semi-automated test and pending reviews of rules
  • Escalations for dates that are past due; generally, you can set up escalation for control design, assessments of controls and processes, entity-level controls, manual testing, and such others

The recipients of the reminders and escalations can be process owners, subprocess owners, automated test reviewers, and internal auditors, along with specific activity owners such as self-assessment reviewers and entity-level control (ELC) reviewers. In addition to this, reminders and escalation can be sent to specific role owners and internal audit managers.

Requirements

You have necessary authorization for development and workflow maintenance of Process Control.
