The compliance audit focuses on the application of the quality system and verifies that the company follows the control procedures as described in their system. At the conclusion of either the quality systems audit or the compliance audit, the auditor and the audit team prepare a report which identifies the nonconformities that were observed during the audit. The auditee is then required to prepare a corrective action report describing the actions (what, when and who) that will be taken to rectify the non-conformities.
Consequently, various approaches and methods are used in achieving each program’s goals. The level of government intervention and industry responsibility varies from program to program. Products of equal risk, but in different commodity groups, are subject to different inspection regimes. These programs are not static but continue to evolve to meet the changing demands of the marketplace. Currently, many programs are in transition, moving from a traditional inspection approach to a systems audit approach.
This transition will pose some significant challenges to an organization that has evolved under the traditional approach to inspection. In order to get a clear understanding of what these challenges are, an examination of audit principles against the traditional methods of inspection would be of benefit. An audit is defined as ‘‘a systematic and independent examination to determine whether quality activities and related results comply with planned arrangements and whether these arrangements are implemented effectively and are suitable to achieve objectives’’ (ISO 8408).
