A clear register that turns ideas into action
Audit Express created this template to keep improvement work simple and visible. Write the request in plain words, pick a priority, choose the owner, and set the dates. As actions are completed you record what happened and when, then you set the next review so follow up is not forgotten. Everything sits in one file that people understand, which means less confusion, fewer side conversations and better momentum.
Audit Express designed this register to give teams a shared, practical way to manage improvements in everyday work.
- It gives teams a shared way to describe and track improvements. - Priority, status and review fields create a steady cadence that stops work from drifting. - Consistent data makes reporting easier for leaders and auditors. - Notes and links keep evidence with the record which simplifies handovers and audits. - Filters let you group by area, owner or timeframe which helps with planning and stand ups. - It becomes a single source of truth for what is proposed, in progress and verified.
Capture to closure in one place.
Clean dropdowns for Focus area, Priority and Status.
Owners and dates that keep a regular rhythm of reviews.

About the Template
Audit Express built the register so the main sheet records the full flow. It covers request details (ID, date, requester, title, description, focus area, accountability area), the plan and delivery steps (priority, action description, action owner, start date, due date, closed date, status), and verification (review date, reviewed by, outcome of review, notes and links). The data sheet provides editable lists for dropdowns so you can use your own terms. The workbook is straightforward for everyday use and structured enough to support assurance activities and board reporting. What is included: 1. Excel Continuous Improvement Register with structured columns and filters 2. Data sheet with editable lists for Focus area, Priority and Status 3. Quick-start guide for the flow from capture to plan, do, verify and review
How to use it
1. Capture the request. Add title, details, focus area, priority and who is accountable. 2. Plan the action. Describe the change, assign an owner, set start and due dates. 3. Do the work. Update the status and record the date the action is closed. 4. Verify the outcome. Add evidence or links, record the outcome of review and who reviewed it. 5. Keep the cadence. Set the next review date so follow up becomes routine.
