When auditing outsourced processes, it is important to see if there is an agreement between the 2 parties and that the requirements for the activities are written and communicated to the company performing the outsourced activity.

QA activities can be outsourced as well, but final release should be within the original company.

If you feel strongly about an NC, you should discuss it with the lead auditor. It is after all, part of your training and there may be justifications for issuing observations.

You will never learn unless you ask questions.
