## Working with Audit Plans

Follow the steps below to view, filter, and manage audit plans effectively.

{% step %}

### Filtering Audit Plans

Use filters to refine the data displayed in both the Gantt chart and the grid.

* **Planned Start Date / End Date:** Restrict results to audits that fall within the selected date range.

After selecting your criteria, click **Apply Filter** to refresh the page.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Viewing Audit Timeline

Use the Gantt chart to schedule and coordinate audits month by month within each year.

* Schedule audits within specific months to align with operational needs
* Detect and resolve scheduling conflicts at a more granular level
* Balance audit workload across months to avoid peak congestion
* Monitor timing and sequencing to keep audits on track throughout the year

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Managing Audit Plans

Use the available actions in the grid to manage audit plans:

* **Add**: Click to create a new audit plan. This opens the [New Audit](/interfacing-help-files/auditors/managing-internal-audits-apps/planning-and-executing-audits/plan-audit.md) form.
* **Edit:** Modify an existing audit plan either **inline** or using a **form**.
  * **Inline Editing:**
    * Update the **Planned Start Date**, **Planned End Date**, or **Actual Start Date**.
  * **Modal Editing:**
    * Click the **Edit** ( <i class="fa-pen">:pen:</i> ) icon or double-click the entry to open the [Schedule Audit](/interfacing-help-files/auditors/managing-internal-audits-apps/planning-and-executing-audits/schedule-audit.md) form, where you can modify the audit schedule and assigned participants.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://interfacing.gitbook.io/interfacing-help-files/auditors/managing-internal-audits-apps/tracking-and-monitoring-audits/manage-audit-schedules.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
