Who this is for: Needs View Findings.
Audits → Audit Findings is where findings live after the audit that raised them is finished. It is the working list for everyone resolving audit issues — often not the auditors themselves.

Findings from archived audits remain visible and reportable here.
Findings cannot be deleted once the parent audit is completed.
