We have to forms of reporting.

One is a summary that is sent to all department managers. Another is the verification that is sent directly to the Presiden once the audit and corrective actions are comple.

Cindy's summary report raises an interesting question for me. Is it ethical or profitable to send a summary report of an audit in one area of the business to other areas of the business?

I'm thinking it has the advantage that supervisors and managers in the non audited areas can take on the lessons learned in the audited area and engage in some preventative action in their areas, if its needed.

However; on the other hand, might broadcasting weaknesses and NC's in one area to other areas, ruffle the feathers of the people in the audited area that their failings have been aired in public? Might this come back to bite the auditor?

I can appreciate that it may depend a lot on the culture of the organisation and similarities in areas etc but I'm interested in thoughts on this.

thanks

I think that depends on your/your company views on NCs.

If you think about NCs as bad things, I would say that it might create problems.

If you view NCs as goods things (IMHO, as it should be), then it would be great to share what has been found so that others can be aware of possible corrections//corrective actions/preventive actions/improvements on the system.

Hi everyone,

First post for a couple of years! :bigwave:

I don't know if this is the best place to ask...

I am trying to find out -

Who should have access to a full completed audit report in a business?

We are designing a new system and need to manage permissions.

Would be really interested to hear peoples opinions...

Everyone?
Just the Quality Team / Auditors / Auditees?
Management?

Thank you for your time,

Bifften

Hi Bifften,

I give copies of completed audit reports to the Heads of Department / Managers audited, and persons responsible for addressing any non-conformances raised. All completed audit reports are available to auditors.

Hope this helps,

Jo
