Try to understand any issues (observations) as they happen. If possible, remediate prior to the end of the audit but Use caution when implementing quick changes without the opportunity to fully evaluate Be prepared to work late or over the weekend Move your routine meetings around dont leave the audit for something else Have someone handle day-to-day activities for you while you are at the audit Keep management and corporate in the loop. 4. If the audit goes badly and you are seeing a major issue being evaluated, dont just accept it: Pass the information along to senior management Discuss the issues with the inspector Be concerned show that you are willing to resolve the issue At some point, you may want to bring in some options for resolving the issues: Corporate help not directly with the audit but to fix the issues Third Party Be prepared the inspectors may dig deeper into the issue or expand into other areas 5.
