ISO 19011:2018 5.5.5: Assigning responsibility for an individual audit to the audit team leader

Guidance: those managing the programme should assign responsibility for each audit to an audit team leader in sufficient time for effective planning, providing the audit objectives, criteria and relevant documented information, scope including the organization, functions and processes to be audited, processes and methods, team composition, auditee contacts, locations, time frame and duration, resources, information for evaluating and addressing risks and opportunities to achieving the objectives, and information supporting interactions with the auditee. As appropriate the assignment also covers the working and reporting language, the reporting output and its distribution, confidentiality and information security, health, safety and environmental arrangements, travel and remote site access, security and authorization, actions to review from previous audits, and coordination with other audits. Joint audits need prior agreement on each party's responsibilities and the leader's authority.
