# Combined Audit Management release notes for upgrades from Zurich to Australia

Consolidated page of all release notes for Audit Management from Zurich to Australia.

## How to use this page

To help you prepare for your upgrade, we have combined the cross-family Audit Management release notes onto one page. Read this summary of the new features, changes, and updated information for your product from Zurich to Australia.

</td><td>

-   **Audit Period Start and End Dates [\[Placeholder link text to key t\_CreateEngagement\]](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_CreateEngagement&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)**

Set audit period start and end dates directly on Engagement records to focus audits on specific time-frames. The system displays only indicator results that fall within your defined audit period, keeping the audit time-frame separate from the overall engagement time-frame. This helps you audit past or future periods without affecting the broader engagement timeline.

-   **[\[Placeholder link text to key unified-content-management\_0\]](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=unified-content-management_0&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)**

Simplify the installation of pre-configured content packs with the new Unified content management icon in the Audit Workspace. Content Accelerator includes the Digital Operational Resilience Act \(DORA\) content pack, offering citations and authority documents for DORA compliance. Audit shared manager and Audit WS supervisor roles can access Content Accelerator.

</td><td>

-   **[Audit entry fields on GRC objects](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=audit-entry-overview&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

Classify the following GRC objects as third-line audit records using the new audit entry option:

    -   Entity
    -   Engagement
    -   Control objective
    -   Control
    -   Risk statement
    -   Risk
Control visibility with role-based access so that only users with the sn\_audit\_ws.third\_line\_manager role can view audit entry \(third-line\) records. The **Audit entry** option is selected by default when the third-line manager creates a record and is set to read-only after the record is saved.

**Note:** An administrator must manually assign the sn\_audit\_ws.third\_line\_manager role to a user to use this feature.
