Re: Do all findings in an internal audit require a corrective action?
All,
Yes, many internal auditors think they are under pressure not to report to a failure to fulfill requirements, with evidence, as a nonconformity.
But the managers responsible for the management system should evaluate the need for corrective action (after making the correction) instead of depending on an auditor to advise them of the depth of improvement needed.
Best not to make managers depend on the auditors for getting their management system right...
...and to preserve the objectivity and impartiality of the audit process without nitpicking.
