You will also see me rant on
several places about making the Objective Evidence retrievable. Lets say you
are auditing and find that employees are not signing off on their operation
on a traveler. Typically a number from the job will do, but many auditors
will also take a photo-copy of one or more samples found as evidence to
accompany their report. This is very common in financial, military
manufacturing and other high risk situations. As I believe we all know, more
than once a document (or situation) has been changed after the auditor has
left. Some folks call this fraud, which sounds serious. Ummmm, well it is
fraud. The situation will determine how serious it is.

The reason auditors ask for
a signature on the finding at the time the nonconformance is identified and
recorded is to ensure all agree to the evidence.

Most of the time, whether or
not there is a nonconformance will be indisputably evident at the time of the
finding. However, this depends upon many things including how blatant the
findings are, but also - you may have a real hard butt auditor. (The above is
from Registrar_NC_Record.xls)
