Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • An audit scope is too broad to test. Choose a concrete activity such as selecting the current artwork at a printing station.
  • A finding's due date has passed, but its closure date is ignored. Check both before calling it outstanding.
  • An acknowledgment of an older instruction is presented as evidence for the revision now in use. Follow the document reference.
  • Audit completion is treated as proof that every finding is closed. Review each finding's response and closure date.
