The washroom could be a serious indicator and shouldn't be discounted:agree1:
Oh please:rolleyes:. The first time I have to conduct an auditor to the mens' room to check out the graffiti, or an auditor uses graffiti as objective evidence, or even hints at it affecting the outcome of an audit, I will immediately begin questioning the auditor's sanity, discontinue the audit and write a impassioned plea to the CRB for a replacement. Is it that hot and humid in Arkansas already?

I think Randy forgot the :sarcasm:

But what a great idea! I've got an audit later this month in Southern California. Maybe I'll start with the restrooms. What do you think, Carl? :lmao:

So you've never seen any honest and truthful remarks on the walls?

BTW, I dind't say anything about using it...........As for Arkansas...I survived 18 years in Barstow where it really gets hot no matter what the humidity is (and I didn't work in an air-conditioned building or any building at all most of the time), so Arkansas is a snap..

Dear Selena,

The process that you describe is well known; you are right that the questionnaire filled in the manner you described need not represent the true picture of the unit. Organizations do have other means to reveal the issues glossed over in the questionnaire through different functional audits and assessments, like for example, internal audit, risk audit, management audit, etc. If a unit has the habit of glossing over its shortcomings, and other audits and reviews point to these shortcomings, the unit faces the prospect of being marked for further HQ reviews...which is not desirable.

With kind regards,

Ramakrishnan

Hi Dr
that's correct. we cannot pass over in silence some sensitives situations... By the way, the first proposal sent by Randy about to audit according their saying is also interesting but bring me back to your professional experienced person.
Finaly depending of the target of the organization and also how much her goals and her commitment to,and also i imagine, how stakeholders are aware of, the tools of check will be more focusing

:thanks: Dr. L. Ramakrishnan :yes:
