The above is a sample
compliance audit. An important consideration here is to notice that this is
an audit by one person. This is why there is no column for “Auditor”. In
situations where there is more than 1 auditor, you will want to include an
“Auditor” column.
In addition, you many have
noticed, for the same reason, there are no scheduled auditor conferences.
During multi-auditor audits it is common to have several “Auditor
Conferences”. Some use part of the lunch break or just before or after lunch.
Some do not Some do and also have an end of the day conference. It is in
these conferences where they alone discuss their findings and where to go
from here.
One last consideration is
that there is no numbering of the compliance elements. Many companies do
structure around the element numbering scheme of ISO 9001 or QS-9000.
Registrar audits almost always cite the specific section or paragraph they
are addressing.
