Expert Insight

Lead auditors add value by running a disciplined process: plan the audit, collect evidence systematically, and write findings that are clear and actionable. The transition from stage 1 to stage 2 is where many audits succeed or fail because preparation quality drives on-site efficiency.Strong reporting depends on traceability. If evidence, test plans, and findings are aligned, closing activities and follow-up on action plans become straightforward.Team leadership and communication are not optional.
