I just had a debate with my manager regarding the audit schedule.
I developed my audit schedule with internal audits scheduled over a period of 2 months. Basically an internal audit a week allowing to consult with the process owners to correct findings etc. after the audit.
My manager feels that I should conduct all my audits before the bi-annual surveillance audits in order to show the external auditors that all processes has been audited. He feels that we should get everything in order that should the auditor audit a process that it has already been audited internally to avoid telling them that this process has not been audited.
I know there is no requirement on the schedule dates as to when all should be done.
Should I conduct all audits before the surveillance audit?
What will happen if an audit is scheduled after the surveillance audit and the external auditor wishes to audit the process in question?
