Observations & Recommendations, depend upon the maturity of "auditor & systems" and "state of focus on compliance". Situation is that, we are in multi-facility environment, with personnel involved at respective locations.
How do you drive objectivity of review mechanism during the internal audit?
What are the appropriate (leading and lagging) targets to be assigned for the internal audit process?
1) Drive objectivity we want to list-out a questionnaire for each procedure & process ( questions grouped in to "Correctness" - "Completeness" - "Compliance" (similar lines of adequacy and accuracy)...this way we could drive the next level of objectivity into the audittee/auditor-interactions.
2) Leading indicator Is "Average & repeat" "observations & recommendations" per each internal audit an valid approach to monitor the effectiveness of internal audit process.
3) Lagging Indicator : conventionally we, take the point that no-critical/major observations noted during external/regulatory audits; Can we taken...No-"RCA of incidents&Complaints" to be traced to the Internal audited-processes!!!.
