PURPOSE:
After the audit field work is completed, it is time to analyze and sort the information gathered and determine conformance to the documented system and the effectiveness of that system. The results of the audit are primarily reported in the form of a nonconformity statement.
In this activity, participants learn how to prepare an audit report.
KEY MESSAGES:
- To initiate a nonconformity, a requirement must first exist.
- Objective evidence must be traceable to the source.
- An auditor should never surprise an auditee by including anything negative in the audit report that has not been discussed with the auditee.
SELF ASSESSMENT:
Can you:
- Compare facts with requirement criteria to determine conformance or not?
- Write a nonconformity statement?
