Are the auditors independent of the area audited? Are audit questions comprehensive? Are they focused on the performance of the process meeting planned objectives? Is the objective evidence recorded for each question? There should be objective evidence for both conformance and Do the questions and the evidence indicate that the audit is checking whether the QMS is effectively implemented and maintained? Are there non-conformances identified in the audit reports? Are the non-conformances well written, that is, are requirement cited (is it correct); is there objective evidence, and the nature of the non-conformance?
