A method and system using a framework to implement an audit process. An embodiment of a method for using a framework for implementing an audit process includes storing a set of requirements associated with a first audit type, receiving an input of a second audit type, and associating at least one of the requirements with the second audit type. The method enables a processor to define different types of audits and assign at least one requirement to the different types. As such, the processor may create a requirement only once. Exemplary applications include educational institution audits for admissions and degree completion.
