WORKING DOCUMENTS:

The documents used by the auditors to facilitate the auditor’s investigation and to
document and report results are Audit Program, Checklists (prepared by the Auditors, if
required) for evaluating PQP elements, Forms for reporting audit observations (i.e.,
Corrective Action Requests, CAR), ISO 9001:2015 Standards, and Writing Instruments

COLLECTING THE EVIDENCE:

While executing the audit, the auditors seek objective evidence demonstrating whether
audited activities comply with the requirements of the documented PQP. These evidences
are collected through the following means:

 Interviews,
 Examination of documents,
 Observation of activities, and
 Conditions in the areas concerned.

Clues suggesting non-conformities are noted if they seem significant, even though not
covered by checklists, and are investigated. Each noncompliance noted during the day is
documented on the CAR form within the next two to three working days. QAM or the
concerned auditor fills out only first part of the form, describing the noted non-
compliance. All the non-conformities are marked as NC only.

AUDIT REPORT PREPARATION:

All audit observations are properly documented. After all activities have been audited, the
Quality Engineer in consultation with the audit team reviews all of their observations to
determine which are to be reported as non-conformities. When any non-compliance is
found, it is brought to the attention and discussed with the concerned area head. The audit
team ensures that all the non-conformities are documented in a clear, concise manner and
are supported by evidence.

The results of the audit are recorded in the “Audit Report”, and are brought to the
attention of the personnel having responsibility in the area audited. The audit report is
prepared by Quality Engineer who is responsible for its accuracy and completeness. The
audit report contains the following items:

 Scope and objectives of the audit.


 Details of the audit program.
 Identification of the audit team members, Audi tee’s representative, and audit dates.

 Descriptions of non-conformities.
 Audit team’s judgment of the extent of the Audi tee’s compliance with the applicable
quality system standard and related documentation.
 The system’s ability to achieve defined quality objectives and conclusions on
effectiveness and efficiency.

REPORT DISTRIBUTION:

The audit report is issued within a week after the completion of the audit and is
distributed to the concerned department for taking corrective or preventive action or other
purposes. If it cannot be issued within a week, the reasons for the delay are documented
and are forwarded to the auditee and Quality Engineer and a revised issue date is
established.
