Day 4 addresses audit documentation and quality review, closing the audit, evaluation of action plans, activities beyond the initial audit, managing an internal audit programme, and competence evaluation before closing the training.This structure is designed to help participants connect requirements to audit planning, execution, reporting, and follow-up routines.

Expert Insight

The agenda is most effective when you treat each day as a set of outputs. By the end of preparation you should be able to outline an audit plan, by the end of on-site work you should be able to document evidence and findings cleanly, and by closure you should be able to evaluate action plans and define follow-up. Those are the deliverables that make audits repeatable.

Day 3: On-site audit activities.
