When to do
an audit |
· A client may initiate an audit because:
o A regulatory agency requires an audit.
o A previous audit indicated that
a follow-up audit was necessary.
o An auditee has made important changes in:
· Policies or procedures.
· Technologies or techniques.
· Management or organization.
· An auditee may carry out audits on a regular basis to improve
quality system performance or to achieve business objectives. |
Prepare an
audit plan |
· The auditor should begin planning the audit by
reviewing documents (e.g. manuals) that both describe the quality management system and explain how it is attempting to meet quality requirements.
o If this preliminary review shows that the quality
management system is inadequate, the audit process should be suspended until this inadequacy is resolved.
· Prepare an audit plan. The plan should be prepared by
the lead auditor and approved by the client before the audit begins. The audit plan should:
· Define the objectives and scope of the audit.
· Explain how long each phase of the audit will take.
· Specify where and when the audit will be carried out.
· Introduce the lead auditor and his team members.
· Identify the quality elements that will be audited.
· Identify the groups and areas that will be audited.
· List the documents and records that will be studied.
· List the people who are responsible for quality and
whose areas and functions will be audited.
· Explain when meetings will be held with
auditee's senior management.
· Clarify who will get the final audit
report and when it will be ready. |
Perform the
quality audit |
· Start the quality audit. Start the audit by having an
opening meeting with the auditee's senior management. This meeting should:
· Introduce the audit team.
· Clarify scope, objectives, and schedule.
· Explain how the audit will be carried out.
· Confirm that the auditee is ready
to support the audit process.
· Prepare audit working papers.
· Prepare checklists (use to evaluate
quality management system elements).
· Prepare forms (use to record
observations and collect evidence).
· Collect evidence by:
· Interviewing personnel.
· Reading documents.
· Reviewing manuals.
· Studying records.
· Reading reports.
· Scanning files.
· Analyzing data.
· Observing activities.
· Examining conditions.
· Confirm interview evidence. Evidence collected
through interviews should, whenever possible, be confirmed by more objective means.
· Investigate clues. Clues that point to possible
quality management system nonconformities should be thoroughly and completely investigated.
· Document observations. Auditors must study the
evidence and document their observations.
· List nonconformities. Auditors must study their observations
and make a list of key nonconformities. They must ensure that nonconformities are:
· Supported by the evidence.
· Cross-referenced to the standards that are being violated.
· Draw conclusions. Auditors must draw conclusions about
how well the quality system is applying its policies and achieving its objectives.
· Discuss results. Auditors should discuss evidence,
observations, conclusions, recommendations, and nonconformities with auditee senior managers before they prepare a final audit report. |
Prepare the
audit report |
· Prepare the final audit report. The audit report should
be dated and signed by the lead auditor. This report should include:
· The detailed audit plan.
· A review of the evidence that was collected.
· A discussion of the conclusions that were drawn.
· A list of the nonconformities that were identified.
· A judgment about how well the quality system
complies with all quality system requirements.
· An assessment of the quality system's ability to achieve
quality objectives and apply the quality system policy.
· Submit the audit report. The lead auditor should send
the audit report to the client, and the client should send it to the auditee. |
Follow-up
steps |
· Take remedial actions. The auditee is expected
to take whatever actions are necessary to correct or prevent nonconformities.
· Schedule follow-up audit. Follow-up audits should
be scheduled in order to verify that corrective and preventive actions were taken. |
