I had zero Major, Zero Minor and 7 OFIs.
My boss response was: called (telephone) individual representatives from services and asked their opinion about the auditor.:notme:

This hits so close to home with me. I posted something on another thread yesterday on how a former boss when he came a board decided to use a registrar he had a releationship with from a prior company. Why, because he knew he could get the same auditor he had and he knew what they looked for and how to keep them off point. Why, because he and his boss (President of co.) didn't want any findings. Results, some of the most uselees audits I have ever had the displeasure of having to schedule and lead. Talk about waisting time and money. I am no longer there, thank heavens. My suggestion to you if you are they type who expects a QMS help your company, keep your resume and networking up to date or a good thearapist on speed dial.:biglaugh:
Good Luck

Actually my boss, the president of the company, wants stringent audit. Findings findings and findings........ he beleives that if the auditor(s) fails to find anything substantial (NC) in 500 + staff company he/she/they are not a good auditor(s).
