ISO 19011:2018 6.4.4: Communicating during audit

Guidance: formal communication arrangements may be needed within the team and with the auditee, client and external parties such as regulators, especially where mandatory reporting of nonconformities applies. Team members should meet from time to time to share information, judge how the audit is progressing and redistribute work; the leader should periodically communicate progress, significant findings and concerns to the auditee and client; evidence pointing to a significant risk that is immediate should be passed on at once; concerns that fall outside the scope should be recorded and brought to the leader, who may pass them on; where evidence shows the objectives are unattainable the leader should explain why to the client and the auditee so that the action to take can be decided, such as replanning, changing objectives or scope, or termination; and changes to the plan should be reviewed and accepted by the programme manager and client and presented to the auditee.
