Re: Audit guidance tools
Hi Andy,
Sorry I should have put this into context, the tools used for conducting an audit such as,
Checklists,
Marked up procedures,
Flow charts,
Mind Maps.
I have noticed the dissavantages that would be encountered, but I would like to know some benifits of these tools.
Not using audit tools:-
Essential issues will be forgotten,
Objective evidence will not be recorded in any systematic way,
Future reference to the actual audit activity will be very difficult.
Advantages (my thoughts on potential benifits) may be:-
Checklists provide objective evidence that the audit was performed and planned ,
Processes will not be forgotten during an audit,
Useful for what observations where made prior to reporting the findings,
Hope you maybe able to add to my benifits list
