Case: During a QMS audit, the auditor found a supplier COA supplier signed but no approval date. This finding triggered an observation because the company should have requested the supplier to reissue the COA with a dated signature, not just a signature. Assuming both companies are ISO9000 certified and as part of supplier monitoring requirements, is the client company responsible for enforcing good documentation practices on external documents like this COA?
