About the Audit Report template
An Audit Report documents the findings of a formal review against a defined standard, contract, or process, recording what was examined, what conformed, and where nonconformities or improvement opportunities exist. It gives auditees, management, and certification bodies an evidence-based record of compliance and the corrective actions required. Done well, it closes the loop between assessment and measurable process improvement.

- π‘Distinguish clearly between nonconformities (must fix) and observations (should consider) so owners prioritise correctly
- π‘Agree corrective action owners and dates before closing the audit, then track closure rather than filing the report and forgetting it

FAQ
What is the difference between a major and minor nonconformity?οΌ
A major nonconformity is a total breakdown or absence of a required control, or a systemic failure that undermines the process; a minor nonconformity is an isolated lapse that does not compromise the overall system.
Who is responsible for closing audit findings?οΌ
The auditee or process owner named for each finding is responsible for implementing corrective action, while the auditor verifies that the action is complete and effective before closure.
How should audit evidence be recorded?οΌ
Record objective, verifiable evidence such as document numbers, dates, record samples, or specific observations, so any finding can be independently traced and validated rather than relying on the auditor's judgement alone.
