    4 Things About Audits: During An Audit

    Uploaded by

    Ghulam Mustafa
    Audits involve sample testing by auditors to check for compliance with documented systems and require objective evidence from those being audited. Auditors are not intimately familiar with the audited system or jobs and rely on documentation and questions to understand processes. When being audited, one should be cooperative, listen carefully to questions without assuming trickery, be prepared to show evidence, and disagree respectfully if needed while avoiding offering unnecessary information or major concerns.

    During an Audit

    4 Things about Audits


    They are sample tests (auditors cant verify it all) Audits are tests of compliance with the documented system is this team/person following the documented system? what evidence is there to support that? if not, is it a single instance or a mistake or is it a bigger problem? Auditors must see objective evidence - could you show me? Auditors are always on the job (ie, the entire time of the audit)

    Worry too much or get too tense Think the auditor is right all the time Volunteer more information than required - just answer the question Offer major concerns/fears/misgivings during an external audit Forget that it is an audit
