A Case Audits Web Service has been provided to allow case data from external sources to be audited. The Web Service can be invoked on by any capable Web Service client, including tools such as the Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) reporting tool. The Web Service receives a list of case identifiers to be used in an audit along with an associated name to identify the data set, from an external source. This data is stored in the ExternalCaseAuditData and ExternalCaseAuditDataItem tables, ready to be included in an audit plan. The audit coordinator will have the option to select case data from this source. If any of the cases do not exist on the system, no data will be saved and a response indicating an error has occurred will be returned. The Case Audit Web Service can be found at curam.core.ws.convert.bs.impl.ExternalCaseAuditData
