PREA Audit Process Map

The PREA Audit Process Map visually outlines the four phases of the PREA audit as described in the PREA Auditor Handbook:

• Pre-onsite phase,
• Onsite phase,
• Evidence review and interim report phase, and
• Corrective action and final report phase.

Each phase outlined in the map details the key responsibilities of the audited agency and the auditor, and provides links to evidence collection components needed for an objective, thorough, and high-quality audit. Agencies and facilities preparing for a PREA audit are encouraged to review the PREA Audit Process Map for valuable information about their responsibilities and what to expect during the audit process.
