Start with a gap review
Audit preparation is strongest when the company evaluates itself before an external auditor arrives. Use the applicable criteria and test both documents and actual implementation.
Interview readiness
Personnel should understand their responsibilities and be able to explain the procedures they use. Memorized answers are less valuable than genuine familiarity.
Evidence readiness
Documents should be current, controlled and easy to retrieve. Evidence should be consistent across records, procedures and actual practice.
After the audit
Convert findings into learning and track actions to verified closure.
