Free Self Audit Checklist Template (Two Pages)

A self audit is the boring kind of audit: you write down what you have, when you last touched it, and whether you still want it. Most people have never seen that list in one place. These two printable pages hold it. Page 1 is a ten-row account table - name, when the password last changed, a two-factor circle, a note - plus eight subscription rows, each with a keep-or-cancel circle. Page 2 is a data-exposure box, a quarterly-review box, and nothing else. Print it, write on it, reprint it next quarter. Below the sheet sits a checklist for a different kind of audit entirely - smart-contract code, not your accounts.

How to use this page: print at 100% scale - both pages come out on two sheets. Start page 1 with the accounts you sign into weekly, then let the forgotten ones surface as you go. No passwords go on paper: the "last password changed" column is a date, and the note column is for whatever you'd otherwise have to remember. Circle Y or N in the 2FA column as you check each account. Page 2 takes five minutes and belongs at the end, once the list on page 1 has told you the truth about your subscriptions.

The two-page self audit sheet

Nothing on this paper decides anything for you. The tables hold the shape - which accounts exist, which services renew, which email still receives mail - and your handwriting holds the facts. The gray subscription row shows how a row reads, nothing more.

One subscription to cancel next quarter:

 

The gray row shows the shape of a subscription line: a name, a cost, one circle. Nothing computes, nothing renews itself on paper, and no line means anything until you write it. Page 2's exposure box is the one most people fill in slowly - old inboxes and forgotten accounts surface on row 6 and 7 of the account table first.

4 opinions on running this audit

  1. Cancel one subscription every quarter, minimum. (Opinion.) Eight rows fill fast because signups are easy and cancellations are work. Picking one row per quarter and circling CANCEL keeps the total honest without turning the sheet into a monthly austerity exercise. If all eight earn their keep, circle KEEP on all eight - the point is a decision per row, not a quota of cuts.
  2. Fill the account table from a list, not from memory. (Opinion.) Whatever inventory you already keep - a password manager's export, your email's signup folder, a browser's saved-sites list - walk it row by row. Memory gives you the ten accounts you like; the list gives you the twenty-three you have. The forgotten ones are the reason this page exists.
  3. Do the 2FA circles in one sitting, before anything else. (Opinion.) The circle is the fastest column and the one people skip. Ten Y-or-N circles take five minutes and leave you with a count you can act on. Dates in the password column can wait for a second sitting; circles can't, because a half-filled circle column reads as a done column by next quarter.
  4. Reprint fresh each quarter and keep the old sheets. (Opinion.) Editing one sheet forever turns the audit into a diary. A fresh print each quarter, with the previous sheet filed next to it, shows the drift you'd never notice day to day: which row count moved, which cancel circle finally got circled, what the next-audit date actually was versus the one you wrote.

What the code-audit checklist adds

This page audits your own records on paper. The product below is a different tool with the same surname: a working checklist for reviewing EVM smart contracts, built from public registry entries and audit-practice patterns. If you write or ship contracts, it's the structured version of what this page does for accounts.

"A working checklist for reviewing EVM smart contracts: 126 checks across 10 categories, each with an id, a severity rating and a reference. Multi-chain scope: Ethereum, L2s, and cross-chain messaging patterns." - the product README

For more paper-based organizing, the emergency document checklist covers the documents worth finding before you need them, the moving abroad checklist handles a border crossing, and the monthly budget planner printable is where the canceled subscriptions show up as saved lines.

Honest note: these two pages are an organizing exercise - a structure for writing down your own accounts, subscriptions and email trail. They are not a security audit, not a professional one and not a substitute for one, and nothing on this paper assesses your accounts or your code beyond what you write on it. No line here makes anything safer; it just makes it written down. The tips above are opinions from use, not research findings.
