This checklist is designed to identify and address non-conformances found during the audit process. It ensures that all issues are documented, investigated, and resolved in a timely manner, promoting compliance and continuous improvement.
Review audit findings to identify any instances of non-conformance related to policies, procedures, or regulatory requirements.
Record the details of the non-conformance, including the nature of the issue, affected areas, and any supporting evidence.
Evaluate the potential impact of the non-conformance on operations, compliance, and risk management.
Create a corrective action plan to address the non-conformance, including specific actions, responsible parties, and timelines.
Execute the corrective action plan by assigning tasks and ensuring completion by the responsible parties.
Conduct follow-up audits or checks to verify that the corrective actions have been effectively implemented and the non-conformance has been resolved.
Once the follow-up verification is complete, formally close the non-conformance in the audit documentation and communicate the resolution to stakeholders.
