Every audit from every template collects these six. The panel says so: "These fields are always included and cannot be removed from the template."

Audit Description

Required

Owner and auditor are different roles. The owner is accountable for the audit happening and is who resolves a blocked audit. The auditor does the work. They are often, but not always, the same person.

Anything beyond these six is optional and switched on per template — see 3.8.
