Are the results of the desk audit applied to the individual position, similar jobs at that work station, the entire region, or nationally?
The results of the desk audit apply only to the individual position being audited. In rare circumstances, the results may be applied to an entire workstation if it can be shown that everyone in that class of positions has the same legitimate concern prompting the request for the desk audit. An appeal that goes to OPM may affect others in an identical position after their decision.
