and communicated to the auditors and
auditee. Create a flexible audit
plan which allows the audit team to track-down

direct responsibilities regarding the
objectives and scope
∞Identification of reference documents (ISO / QS
standards, QM, SOPs, and WIs)
∞Identification of audit members
∞Date, expected completion time and place for the
audit
∞Meeting schedule for department members
∞Confidentiality requirements
∞Schedule of planned future audits
