# Approve or reject an engagement

Audit users that are assigned as approvers for an engagement can approve or reject engagements in the **Awaiting Approval** state.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_audit.user

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Audit** > **My Audit Approvals**.

2.  Open the approval record associated with the engagement.

3.  Click **Approve** or **Reject**

    One of the following actions occurs:

    -   If the engagement is approved and there are remaining open tasks or issues, it automatically moves into the **Follow Up** state.
    -   If the engagement is approved and there are no remaining open tasks or issues, it automatically moves into the **Closed** state.
    -   If the engagement is rejected, it automatically moves back to the **Fieldwork** state
