Process

Review scope, auditing, reporting

Every audit follows the same three stages, from agreeing the scope to delivering a report your team can act on.

  1. Stage 1

    Review scope

    Review of the system, the standard, and the audit history to set a realistic scope.

    • Standard and processes in scope
    • Previous audit findings
    • Audit plan and schedule
  2. Stage 2

    Auditing

    On-site or remote audit: interviews, document review, and observation of the process.

    • Opening meeting
    • Interviews and record sampling
    • Daily debrief with your team
  3. Stage 3

    Reporting

    Findings classified and written so they can be defended in front of a registrar.

    • Closing meeting
    • Findings report with evidence
    • Final audit report
