Purpose
Use this report for an objective audit of programme quality assurance: whether quality policies, standards and planned processes are appropriate, current and being followed across the programme. The audit should promote continuous improvement and identify preventive or corrective action that helps every component contribute to acceptable programme outcomes and benefits.
Application
Quality requirements can change during a long programme as laws, regulations, organisational policies, technologies or customer expectations evolve. An audit therefore examines more than present compliance; it also tests whether the programme can detect change, update its quality system and sustain effective assurance and control.
Completion discipline
State the reporting or review period, scope, evidence sources and preparer. Separate observed facts from analysis, assign owners and dates to follow-up actions, obtain the required approval, and retain the report with its supporting records.
