ISO 19011:2018 6.2.2: Establishing contact with auditee

Guidance: the team leader should see that the auditee is contacted in order to confirm how communication will work and that there is authority for the audit to go ahead; to explain the objectives, scope, criteria and methods and who is on the team, technical experts included; to ask for access to the information needed for planning, including the auditee's identified risks and opportunities and how they are addressed; determine applicable statutory, regulatory and other requirements; confirm agreement on disclosure and treatment of confidential information; arrange the audit and schedule; establish the arrangements each location has for access, health and safety, security and confidentiality; agree on observers, guides and interpreters; determine areas of interest, concern or risk to the auditee; and resolve team composition issues with the auditee or client.
