We are a small company (<200), and our management team meets 1-3 times/week, per the owner. I usually schedule and let the department manager know at these meetings that I want to audit his area. I also email a few days out from the audit. We sit down with the manager (or designated rep) of that area and briefly chat about the audit, and then go out and run through their area. We'll come back to them and speak about their area of the QMS as well. After it's over, we'll briefly speak again and tell them it's done. If a nonconformance is found, we'll tell them about it, and then fill out a CAR notification and forward it to them, for the system. We get into the CA in the regular meetings, and then cover it in our regular MR as well. For the audit, we use a form I developed with a lot of input from the great folks here, and it is in this section somewhere.
