Week of October 16, 2023

October 16, 2023

We released the GSA FAC as a minimal viable product. That means we are continuing to work and improve the FAC. We work in an agile manner.

Items of note:

  • All UEIs are validating.
  • We made significant improvements to workbook validations and their associated instructions.

If you previously encountered challenges submitting your workbooks, we recommend you try again.

What's next?

We are currently working on search. We hope to demonstrate a prototype to Federal partners this week for early feedback. We anticipate having the ability to search for and download audits by the end of October.

Our pending feature priorities are:

  • Adding the ability to unlock audit submissions to edit and then re-lock for certification instead of starting a new submission.
  • Adding the ability to add, remove, or change auditors and certifying officials who are attached to the audit.
  • Adding the ability to resubmit a previously submitted and completed audit.
  • Adding email notifications to alert auditees and auditors that a step is ready for them to complete.
