If one co-file is set to non-renew and the other is not, when should the audit be ordered for the account (Assuming both policies are subject to audit)? 

What is: When nonrenewal is processed. The non-renewed policy will not show up on the options to order at the next renewal since it will not be an "active "policy. We would also want to be careful about ordering another audit when the renewal for the active policy is renewed. CPS does not review OnBase for pending audit requests - this must still be reviewed manually.
