ISO 19011:2018 6.5.1: Preparing audit report

What does 6.5.1 require?

Guidance: the team leader should report the conclusions in accordance with the programme in a record that is full, accurate, clear and to the point that includes or refers to the objectives, scope including the auditee and functions or processes audited, the client, the team and auditee participants, dates and locations, criteria, findings and evidence, conclusions, a statement of the degree to which the criteria were fulfilled, unresolved diverging opinions, and the sampling nature of auditing with its risk that evidence is not representative. As appropriate it can include the plan and schedule, a summary of the process and obstacles affecting reliability, confirmation that objectives were achieved within scope, areas not covered with justification, a summary of conclusions and main findings, good practices, agreed follow-up, a confidentiality statement and implications for the programme or later audits.
