Audit Software Manual for Auditees

1 Introduction
Intelex is the proprietary name that refers to the audit software used by IATA to record the results of the
onsite and follow-up activities of an ISAGO Audit. All pre and post-onsite audit activities are tracked and
recorded in the software.

The software is web-based and scalable for each audit with a systematic workflow-based approach. Each
workflow has an assigned responsible person, including you, the Auditee, which makes user accountability
easier to follow.

2 Use of this Manual


This manual provides you with guidance on how to manage your ISAGO Audit workflows. There are two
basic workflows as described in the next section. Each workflow is independent and requires different
access rights and credentials.

You will probably be the GSP coordinator for the ISAGO Audit; however, other employees including
Department Heads may also play a part in developing and implementing a Correct Action Plan (CAP) and
then closing a Corrective Action Record (CAR).

Flowcharts and software screenshots are used to illustrate the workflows and required actions. The
flowcharts are color-coded to indicate who is responsible for each stage of a workflow. Red boxes on the
screenshots indicate the subject matter or where to click.

The guidance may not be provided in the order in which the audit software is used, displayed or viewed.

Despite our best effort to cover everything, nothing is perfect and we acknowledge there may be errors
or missing useful information. IATA welcomes all feedback, corrections or suggested improvements, on
this Manual by email to isago@iata.org.

If you encounter difficulties with the audit software of a technical nature see 8, Troubleshooting.

Audit Software Manual for Auditees

3 Workflows
3.1 Pre-onsite Audit Activities

Figure 1 illustrates the audit software workflow


prior to the onsite audit. The audit software is
prepared (built) prior to the onsite audit by the
ISAGO Agent (GOA). The GOA will enable the ISAGO
disciplines to be included in the scope of the audit
and assign them to an ISAGO Auditor in the
software.

The document references recorded in the software


are established by the ISAGO Auditors during an
initial Headquarters Audit. You are required
thereafter to maintain the document references
and update as necessary. You can enter/update
document references at any time before an
upcoming Station Audit. This is important. It is not
only good housekeeping but also saves time during
the onsite audit and allows the ISAGO Auditors to
focus on auditing.

You can also save the time of the ISAGO Auditors


while onsite also by entering the document
references yourself prior to an initial onsite audit.
We encourage you to do so as it also serves as a
useful gap analysis. Discuss this with the GOA if you
Figure 1 – Pre-onsite Audit Activities Workflow
decide to do so.

You will have to provide the GOA the name of the person who will be responsible to record the post-
onsite (follow-up) activities when the GOA builds the audit. Changing the person responsible will not be
possible once the audit is built.

You can nominate a dedicated person (other than the person responsible for follow-up activities) to
upload and maintain the document references. The GOA will provide access details (username/password)
if you provide the first and last name and email address of the person.

HOWEVER – this person using this access to the audit software will only have access to
the document references before the audit takes place. There will be no access to the
information/records of the post-onsite activities that are part of the second workflow.

5
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

3.2 Post-onsite Audit Activities

Figure 2 illustrates the audit software workflow after the onsite audit is completed and the follow-up
activities commence to close the audit.

Note: Access to the audit software to input or view the information/records of the post-
onsite activities will be provided to you by the Lead Auditor assigned to the audit.

You have to develop, using the information


recorded in each CARs related to each Finding,
and propose a CAP that will result in conformity
with the associated ISAGO standard to close the
Finding. The CAP will also address the Root
Cause or Causes you identified as the reason for
the non-conformity.

The CAP is reviewed and approved by the ISAGO


Auditor that raised the CAR. A date by which
approval has to be obtained will be set for each
CAP; however, the date by which all CAPs are
approved will be set by the Lead Auditor at the
onsite audit closing meeting.

You are then required to record details of the


Final Action Taken (FAT) that you offer to the
ISAGO Auditor as evidence of the
implementation of corrective action that should
result in closure of the CAR.

What you provide in the CAR may be the only


information available to the ISAGO Auditor. It is
essential that it is complete, accurate and is able
to convince the ISAGO Auditor that you have
successfully addressed the Finding. Failure to do
so may not only result in delay but also a
possible reason for the ISAGO Auditor to
Figure 2 – Post-onsite Audit Activities Workflow request a follow-up visit, at extra cost, to verify
conformity.

The CAR is also part of the ISAGO Audit Report, which is read by your customer airlines. They will want to
see that you have successfully and satisfactorily addressed the Finding too.

Note: The audit software assigns a deadline to each stage of the follow-up process. If
whoever is responsible (either you or the ISAGO Auditor) for the stage allows the deadline
to pass without providing the required input, neither party will be able to update the
information unless the deadline is modified by IATA. You should not let this happen!

Audit Software Manual for Auditees

4 Accessing the Software


The Intelex ISAGO audit software is accessed using a web browser on a computer. The software is always
online and so an internet connection must be maintained at all times. No additional software or
components are required.

Access to the information entered is controlled (by username and password) and only available to the
assigned person responsible for the workflow (or part thereof).

Enter the following URL: https://clients.intelex.com/Login3/IATAExternal

Enter your Username and Password provided by the Lead Auditor, or the GOA
if you only wish to review or update the document references.

Click Login.

The system login screen will re-appear if you enter an incorrect username
and/or password. Contact the Lead Auditor (or GOA) if you need assistance.

A successful login will provide the My Tasks Summary screen illustrated below.

5 Recording Document References


Click on the field (highlighted below in red) containing the audit code.

The Document References window below will appear. Keep a note of the Record No. It is useful when
uploading the document references.

As with most software applications there are several ways of doing something. The Manage/Import tab
will allow you to upload or modify a document reference by importing a reference, copying a reference
from a previous (existing) audit or manually adding (typing) a reference.

8
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

5.1 Importing a Document Reference

Importing a document reference is the best option if you have a large number of documents and
references to these documents are readily available in an Excel file. You will have to use a template for
the format of the Excel file.

To obtain the Excel file template:

Click Data Import.

Click Download Template

The Excel template has the following 9 fields:

Audit Record No.* The 3 digit number you kept a note of!
Document Code* The acronym or other code that you identify the document by

verify their existence by returning to Audit Questions (Map).

15
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

5.5 Document References by GOSARPs

The Grouped by Question tab is an alternative method of attaching or viewing GOSARPs associated with
document references.

New or existing document references can be added or attached.

Click the paper icon associated with the Question.

16
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

A pop-up window will appear.

Click Attach Existing or Add New.

5.6 Merging Document References

This function allows two document references to be merged together, deleting (archiving) the redundant
document reference.

Click on the box under Merge With for the document that is redundant.

Click the downwards arrow in the box and select the document reference to which the redundant
document reference is to be merged.

17
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

Click Refresh

The redundant document reference will be deleted but can, for any reason, be viewed under the Merged
(Archived) tab.

5.7 Document References Inputting Completed

Click Submit when you have completed inputting your document references.

18
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

6 Corrective Action Records (CAR)


A CAR is raised in the audit software by the ISAGO Auditor for each non-conformity (Finding) that is
identified during the onsite part of the ISAGO Audit. To enable the ISAGO Auditor to close a CAR you have
to:

 Identify and record the Root Cause for the non-conformity


 Determine and record what you will do to achieve conformity (a Corrective Action Plan (CAP))
 Implement and record the CAP activities
 Record the Final Action Taken (FAT) that you believe is evidence of achieving conformity as per
the approved CAP.

You will receive your credentials (usually from the Lead Auditor) to gain access to the CARs when the
onsite portion of the audit is completed.

Note: You have to provide the GOA the name of the person who will be responsible to
record the CAR entries when the GOA builds the audit. Changing the person responsible
will not be possible once the audit is built.

All CARs must be closed for the ISAGO Audit to be closed. Refer to the GOPM for details of required
timelines, deadlines and the responsibilities of the personnel involved.

A CAR will only be raised for an Observation if you tell the ISAGO Auditor that you would like to address
it. However, you are under no obligation to complete the associated CAP or close the CAR, in which case
you must notify the ISAGO Auditor as soon as possible so that the CAR can be deleted.

6.1 Accessing a CAR

Logon as described in 4. Accessing the Software. The CARs are displayed in My Tasks.

Click the Description to view the CAR or the Pencil Icon to enter in edit mode (you want to enter
information).

19
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

A page for you to enter information on each stage of the CAR closure workflow appears.

The CAR page ribbon at the top has four functions:

1. Send for Review = to submit entered information for review/approval by the ISAGO Auditor.
2. Add Comment - you can enter additional information which may be helpful to the ISAGO Auditor.
3. Edit - enables text entry and editing, and you can also enable edit mode if accessed from the
Description.
4. Exit - you are returned to My Tasks.

If you click Edit, the Save (saves entered information) and Cancel (does not save entered information)
buttons appear.

20
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

Scrolling down on the page you will see sections Audit Details, Initiating Details, and Related Questions.

Audit Details displays the ISAGO Audit and audit discipline that the CAR belongs to.

Initiating Details displays the CAR type, the name of the ISAGO Auditor that raised the CAR and the
deadline for you to submit the CAP.

Related Questions displays the GOSARP which the CAR relates to, details of the ISAGO Auditor’s
assessment of non-conformity, comments, related document references, and attachments, if any.

6.2 Add Root Cause

You must determine the Root Cause or Causes for the non-conformity, and form the basis of determining
what corrective action is needed to achieve conformity.

6.2.1 Pre-defined Root Cause


The audit software has a set of pre-defined Root Causes, see Appendix: Root Cause Categories. It is
possible to add your own Root Cause in all Categories, see 6.2.2. Add Your Own Root Cause.

21
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

Scroll down to Root Cause Analysis.

Click Add Entry (You must enter at least one Root Cause - this field cannot be left blank).

A pop-up window will appear.

Click Select.

22
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

Select a Root Cause from the list.

Click Select.

Click Save & Exit if there are no additional Root Causes to be added.

23
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

Click Save & Add Entry if there are multiple Root Causes for this CAR.

Repeat your selection of Root Causes as necessary.

6.2.2 Add Your Own Root Cause


Select Other (description to be provided by Auditee) in the relevant Category.

Click Select.

24
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

Fill in details of the Root Cause in the Other text box.

Click Save & Add Entry and repeat above to add another bespoke Root Cause.

Click Save & Exit when done.

6.2.3 Viewing a Root Cause


A saved Root Cause may be viewed.

Click the Record No.

6.2.4 Editing a Root Cause


A saved Root Cause may be edited.

Click the Pencil Icon beside the Record No.

25
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

6.3 Add a Corrective Action Plan (CAP)

A CAP provides details to the ISAGO Auditors on what corrective action you intend to carry out, and by
when, to address the Root Causes and achieve conformity to close the Finding.

Note: The more detail you provide in the CAP, the better. It must clearly outline the
corrective actions to address all aspects of the non-conformity and Root Cause(s). It must
cover all aspects of the corrective action you intend to take and you must complete the
approved CAP, otherwise you risk further discussion with the ISAGO Auditor and potential
difficulties in CAR closure. If everyone is aware of and agrees what to do, what to
document and implement, you will avoid unnecessary surprises at the end of the process.

You should ensure that the CAP is written in plain English (correct spelling and grammar). Text or
documentation submitted in another language must include a translated version.

Scroll down to Corrective Action Plan.

Interim or Permanent? will always be Final Action, and Corrective Action will always be Yes. If Corrective
Action is No the CAR Workflow will progress directly from CAP to Closed without any
verification/confirmation from the ISAGO Auditor. You do not want this to happen!

In Corrective Action Plan enter all details of your CAP. There is no limit on the amount of text you can
enter.

26
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

Click Save to save the entries you have made.

6.4 Review and Approval of CAP

When you have completed entering your Root Cause(s) and CAP you have to notify the ISAGO Auditor
that it is ready for review.

Click Send for Review.

The CAR will disappear from your My Tasks list.

If the ISAGO Auditor rejects your CAP, the CAR will reappear in My Tasks and it will still be at the Corrective
Action Plan (CAP) stage.

The audit software is designed to host an exchange of information between you and the ISAGO Auditors
whenever responsibility to enter information changes. For example, the ISAGO Auditor may offer
suggestions for additional Root Causes or the improvement of the CAP if it is rejected. Use Workflow
Comments to provide any information to the ISAGO Auditors that should not be part of CAP but is
important to know when you submit the CAP.

27
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

You can access the CAR by either clicking on the Pencil icon or Description and discover why the CAP has
been rejected in Workflow Comments.

Read the comment and edit/make appropriate changes to the Root Causes or CAP as described previously.
Then resend the CAP to the ISAGO Auditor.

28
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

6.5 Add a Final Action Taken (FAT)

If the ISAGO Auditor approves your CAP the stage will change to FAT.

Once the CAP is approved, you have to implement the corrective actions for each Finding within the
required timelines. You should inform the ISAGO Auditors of the status of implementation on a regular
basis and notify them without delay if you cannot keep with the plan.

When implementation of the CAP is completed you have to enter the FAT and provide Verification (proof)
of Implementation (VoI).

Note: The FAT are the changes you made to achieve conformity, they will be the primary
focus of the ISAGO Audit Report, reviewed by your customer and potential customer
airlines.

The ISAGO Auditors will review the evidence you provide as VoI. This can usually be verified by
examination of revised documentation; however, operational change and/or changes to equipment, will
need additional supporting evidence. In some cases a follow-up visit by the ISAGO Auditor is necessary.

Note: All VoI documentation must be in English. Revised and published controlled
documents may be submitted in the local language; however, the relevant changes must
be translated for verification by the ISAGO Auditor.

The ISAGO Auditor will review the FAT.

The ISAGO Auditor will notify you that the FAT has been accepted and the Finding is closed, or advise that
further action is required on your part or that a follow-up visit is necessary for the VoI.

Note: Failure to close a Finding at this stage may prevent the closure of the ISAGO Audit
on schedule and before a required deadline.

29
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

Access the CAR by either clicking on the Pencil icon (to enter edit mode) or Description (and then click
Edit as previously described).

You should check Workflow Comments to see if the ISAGO Auditor has provided any further input.

Scroll down to FAT and enter the relevant details.

Enter the following information to complete this stage:

Final Action Taken - enter the details of the Final Action Taken here.

Actions Taken By - use this dropdown menu to choose the appropriate name.

Submitted By - this field is automatically filled.

Date of Final Action Taken - this field is automatically filled.

30
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

Click Save (if you wish/need to add more information later) or Click Send for VOI to submit.

You can also add a Workflow Comment if you need to inform the ISAGO Auditor of any relevant
information that is not part of the FAT.

Once the CAR has been sent for VOI, it will disappear from your My Tasks.

6.6 Review and Approval of FAT

You do not need to make any further inputs to the audit software for a CAR if the ISAGO Auditor accepts
the FAT.

If the ISAGO Auditor rejects the FAT, the CAR will reappear in My Tasks. It will still show the stage as FAT.

31
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

The ISAGO Auditor’s reasons to reject the FAT will be recorded in Workflow Comments.

As you may have done with the CAP, you can provide the ISAGO Auditor with additional information using
Workflow Comments and you will need to resubmit (as before) your evidence based on the advice of the
ISAGO Auditor.

32
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

7 Common Actions
You can use the following actions at any time during the CAR process.

7.1 Attach a Document

To demonstrate proof of documentation or implementation you will almost certainly have to provide the
ISAGO Auditor with the relevant documentation.

You can attach a document (or any file) in the audit software to the attention of the ISAGO Auditor.

You can repeat the procedure for additional files or documents that you wish to attach to the CAR.

Remember: All documentation must be in English. You can submit a revised and published
controlled document in another language; however, the relevant changes must be
translated into English for verification by the ISAGO Auditor.

Access the CAR from My Tasks.

Scroll to the bottom of the page to Attachments.

Click Attach Document

33
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

A pop-up window will appear.

You have three methods to attach a file. The default is the File tab.

Click Upload file and select the document or file you want to upload from your computer or accessed
from your computer (on a network or removable drive/memory device).

Click Ok.

The second method follows a similar procedure but uses a web address to locate the file to upload.

Click Web.

Enter the Name of the file and the URL (web address) where the file is located.

Click Ok.

Do not use the third method Server. An ISAGO Auditor will not have access to your server.

34
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

7.2 Workflow Comments

Workflow Comments are not included in the ISAGO Audit Report. They serve purely as traceable
correspondence (information offered or feedback) between the ISAGO Auditor and the Auditee to give
advice or general information to assist one another at any time during the CAR closure process. They
cannot, however, be used as a two-way discussion. You will have to use telephone or Email for that
purpose.

Access the CAR from My Tasks.

Click Add Comment.

A pop window will appear.

Enter your comments in the dialogue box.

Click Ok.

35
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

The comment will appear in Workflow Comments.

You can add as many comments as you like.

36
Audit Software Manual for Auditees

8 Troubleshooting
8.1 Access to Audit Software

Most access issues, if the audit software is not in maintenance, will be associated with your internet
connection and can only be resolved yourself locally.

If any difficulties with access to the audit software are encountered, contact the Lead Auditor to verify
your credentials are correct.

IATA is not responsible for your internet connection, computer set-up or the compatibility of the audit
software with your operating system.

8.2 Any Other Issues

Contact IATA if you encounter what you believe is a software bug or functionality problem, or have any
request of support. Email to intelex@iata.org and copy the Lead Auditor for the specific ISAGO Audit. Give
as much detail of the issue as possible, including screenshots if you can.

8.3 Time Constraints (CAP and FAT)

The ISAGO Auditor sets the deadline for the submission of a CAP and FAT VoI for review. If you (or the
ISAGO Auditor) misses one of these deadlines the CAR will remain at its current stage and further progress
cannot be made unless IATA resets the deadline. IATA does not want to do this! This scenario can be
prevented by progressing the CAP as planned or requesting/allowing adequate time to do the work
involved (but while observing the required audit deadlines), and is a good example of where the use of
Workflow Comments is helpful in resolving matters in a timely manner.
