Management Awareness Audit Checklist

Goal of management awareness 

Management awareness is essential for ensuring that processes, practices or initiatives receive the necessary support, resources, and attention. It enables strategic alignment, promotes a culture of accountability, mitigates risks, and drives continuous improvement. Without management engagement, initiatives are likely becoming ineffective or disconnected from business needs. We all have seen such situations in our organizations. 

Key aspects of management awareness
