Principle of closely adhering to facts and audit criteria
Step 1: Firstly, identify the process in which errors occurred in the non compliant scenario?
Step 2: Identify the clause number of the audit standard based on the process attributes;
Step 3: Identify the requirements (clauses) in the clause based on the nature or preliminary reasons of the error;
Step 4: Describe the facts of non conformities, sort out the logical relationship between standard terms and requirements for judgment, and lay the groundwork for "benchmarking";
This principle means that if there are specific clauses applicable during the benchmarking process, comprehensive clauses should not be judged. Namely, among the possible clauses involved, select which ones are closest to the facts and conduct targeted benchmarking
Principles conducive to the improvement of the audited party
The product of an auditor is a service.
In the audit, it is necessary to meet the requirements of the audit criteria, be responsible to relevant parties such as customers and audit clients, and also facilitate the improvement of the audited party, reducing the cost of improvement to the minimum and obtaining the maximum benefits. Of course, this requires auditors to have professionalism and a deep industry background
Which requirement of the clause that does not comply with the fact actually violates the standard must be diagnosed accurately, in order to facilitate the improvement of the audited party.
