∞Introduces the audit team to the department members
∞Reviews the audit plan, scope and objectives for the audit
∞Establishes the official communication link between department representative and audit team
∞Review findings from document review
Your opening meeting, if there is one, will depend upon the audit specifics. If youre doing an internal audit of a manufacturing area, you might hold the meeting right there - standing - at or in the area. Or - you might want to grab a conference room and more thoroughly go over the agenda and other issues.
The level of formality will depend upon you and your company. And the specifics. If you are doing a third party audit the meeting is typically quite formal. Formal audits almost always have agendas. In the case of an audit by a registrar you will find they have very formal, detailed agendas.
