Once an accessibility audit report is delivered, the work shifts from evaluation to action. The report lists every issue identified, where it appears, the WCAG success criterion it relates to, and guidance on how to fix it. That document becomes the working file for the next phase: remediation.
Remediation typically follows a prioritized order. Issues affecting the most users, appearing on the highest-traffic pages, or carrying the greatest legal risk get fixed first. Developers reference the audit report directly, working through items by severity. Some teams manage this internally, while others bring in a remediation partner when the volume is large or the codebase is unfamiliar territory.
After fixes are made, validation confirms the work. An auditor reviews the updated pages or screens to verify each issue has been properly addressed. Validation often surfaces edge cases or partial fixes that need a second pass. Once validated, the organization has documented evidence of WCAG conformance and a clear baseline for ongoing monitoring as the product changes over time.
