The audit plan is approved by the client and communicated to the auditors and auditee. Create a flexible audit plan which allows the audit team to track-down audit trails yet ridged enough to ensure on-time completion. The plan should include:
The audit objectives and scope
Identification of the individuals having significant direct responsibilities regarding the objectives and scope
Identification of reference documents (ISO / QS standards, QM, SOPs, and WIs)
Identification of audit members
Date, expected completion time and place for the audit
Meeting schedule for department members
Confidentiality requirements
Schedule of planned future audits
ISO 19011 - Quality and Environmental Management Systems Auditing Forum Discussions
