Is this how you see it? • It’s more than just a requirement – it’s an OPPORTUNITY. • Conducting Self Assessment audits has opened more doors for our team and our profession than anything we have done.

  14. Results • Lots of Audit Information Provided • Our Methods comply with the FAR • We touch every business process • Through Interviews and Artifacts • Process is thorough • Results can be reviewed by any Property Administrator (Online Repository) • Every Stakeholder/Key Player has a role and the importance of their role is realized

  15. Results • We know the health of our Property Management System • We have a way to capture areas that need improvement and follow up until closed. (Next Slide is an example of fields in our correction action log) • Training • Procedures

  17. Results • Most Important part of the audit is to Capture Observations and Findings and FOLLOW UP!! • There has to be a system/tool to document the findings • There has to be a person continuously following up on the status of the corrective actions • There must be a history of what was done and how it was improved (we often look at that area again to see if the corrective action worked)

  18. Lessons Learned • Gain Upper Management Support! • Have Someone Designated as the Audit Lead/Audit Chair • Be Prepared • Be Organized • Be Ready for Pushback • I need a charge number • I don’t have time for this • Blah, Blah, Blah!

  19.
