NOTE 5 A combined audit is when a client is being audited against the requirements of two or more
management systems standards together.

NOTE 6 An integrated audit is when a client has integrated the application of requirements of two or
more management systems standards into a single management system and is being audited against
more than one standard.

(Process) challenging.
Plans
Where work gets done (Places)
Standards & Acceptance Criteria
Who does the work (People) Production & Test Processes
The Tools used to get the job

QUESTIONING TECHNIQUES IN AUDIT INTERVIEW (BEST PRACTICES)

Through Questioning, auditors have to zero down the conversations in a FRIENDLY MANNER, to witness
/ verify evidences to reach an audit conclusion on degree of compliances

Qs. Type Sample Expected Answer Cautions during asking


Open Qs. What is the system you This is a lab where we quality Auditee may go into

Important communication types in auditing: Orally > Quality of Questions


Avoid questions / statements like below ones:

Samples of Statements / Qs. types Anticipated impacts of such Qs.

 Why you taking time to show the records?


AUTHOROTATIVE This surely would make Auditee go
 I have another half an hour as per the audit plan, so please hurry up ?
into defensive mood and would need
 Show Inspection results double the efforts to find out the
ONLY CLOSED Qs.  Show me calibration results evidences for audit conclusions
 Show me NC’s & Corrective actions
 What do you do after office hours ? Auditee would lead interest in audit
NOT FROM SCOPE
 Do you think movies teach good practices? process
 Why are you not transparent ? Might lead to arguments or auditee
ARRAGANCY
 Are you aware what you are doing by not cooperating ? might not cooperate for evidences
 Five minutes back you said something else and now you are saying just the opposite ? Would lead to defensive mood and
INTORRAGATIVE
might also irritate the auditee
 Keep the inspection records ready but could you show only genuine records ?
INSTIGATIVE
Might lead to arguments
ARGUMENTATIVE  This record does not reveal facts
 Transparency is always good for improving the process

To establish the ground rules for writing and agreeing NCR’s
To understand the possible differences between NCR’s raised during 1st, 2nd & 3rd Party audits
To clarify categorisation/ grading of non-conformity reports

NONCONFORMITY REPORTING

What is the Problem ?


• describe clearly, concisely and factually
Why is it a noncompliance ?
• i.e. against what requirement
Where did it occur ?
• i.e. which department or activity
Who ? - avoid apportioning blame
• (i.e. naming individuals)

1
19/05/2018

NONCONFORMITY REPORT

Used to report nonconformity audit findings


Must be factual
Must be understandable and traceable
Raise formal notification of any issues at the time of finding
Allow the auditee to implement corrective action prior to the closing meeting
The auditee is requested to sign signifying an understanding and acceptance of the non-compliance

WORDING OF NCR’S

It is important when preparing NCR’s to take care and ensure it is justified.

Failure to achieve clear factual information will invite challenge of the findings at the closing meeting.

This will be particularly important in areas where the emphasis is placed on the following
• Management Commitment
• Competence
• Communication
• Continual improvement

2
19/05/2018

OBSERVATIONS

Notes made by an auditor during assessment may lead to non-compliances being raised or to provide
information for the audit report

Notes provide Objective Evidence back up

CATEGORISING NON-CONFORMITIES

Major
A single major system, product, or service nonconformity

• A lack of procedures needed to satisfy an agreed requirement

• Non-implementation of documented procedures and arrangements

• A series of minor non-conformities in a particular area or activity which collectively have an


adverse effect on the system

3
19/05/2018

CATEGORISING NON-CONFORMITIES

Minor
There is a defined system, documented procedures and arrangements which satisfy agreed
requirements against which the organisation being assessed can demonstrate an acceptable level
on implementation overall, but there are minor discrepancies or lapses in discipline.

Section 17 – How to Audit Competence
To establish a means of defining competence
To understand the term and devise ways by which an auditor could record
evidence of compliance with the standard.

WHAT IS COMPETENCE?

• Give your understanding for the elements that build competence?

• Training?
• ……….
• ……….

1
19/05/2018

COMPETENCE

How can we measure it and when?

• Establish a level

• Test against the level

• Retest against the level at suitable intervals

• Review the level when processes change

EVIDENCE

Now against each of the elements that you give, describe what evidence would an auditor look for to
find compliance:

2
19/05/2018

COMPETENCE

Note:
It is not your task to set the competence level but to ensure the company has.
You are not to challenge the competence of an individual but test the system to confirm competence is
achieved.
Lack of a procedure will mean greater emphasis is placed upon competence.

COMPETENCE

Remember!

Competence can perish:

• A lack of opportunity to practice the skill


• The frequency by which a person carries out a task
• The time between learning the skill and applying it.
• A change in the process.

AUDITOR/LEAD AUDITOR TRAINING
COURSE
(QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS)
Section 19 – Management Communications
To develop an appreciation of leadership styles
To be able to list the management stages that a Lead Auditor must
handle

MANAGEMENT STYLE

“Tell”
• This approach is where the team leader plans and makes the decisions up front and then gives
clear instructions - directing the team the way he or she wants the task to proceed
• This style may well be welcomed by the less experienced team members, but may not always
receive approval from those more experienced who feel they have something to contribute.

1
19/05/2018

MANAGEMENT STYLE

“Sale”

• As with “Tell”, the team leader will probably have planned and decided on the programme, but will
feel that some justification is necessary as to how the programme was established and how they
wish to proceed. The team leader will then attempt to complete the sale to convince the team
members that the proposed course of action is correct.

MANAGEMENT STYLE

“Consult”

• The consult approach is where the team leader takes time to talk to the team members first,
listen to their ideas and evaluate their capabilities before making a decision.
• This is probably the preferred approach, but if time is a constraint and the team is not available
then this approach may not be possible.

2
19/05/2018

MANAGEMENT STYLE

“Team”
• The team approach is when the team leader acts more as a chairperson seeking concise
opinions and allowing other team members to take an active role in the decision making
process.
• This approach is perhaps more useful when preparing for the final report. Giving the opportunity
for the final report to be truly representative of the whole teams findings.
