CONTEXT

When this template fits

Who it is for

For companies with a certified management system or aiming for one. The process pays off from the first audit year, because otherwise planning, execution and follow-up live in separate files.

Where it typically stalls

At follow-up. The report gets written, actions are agreed, and then nobody checks whether they worked. The next audit shows the same finding. The template makes the effectiveness check its own step.

What it connects to

Downstream are corrective actions and the management review, which needs audit results as input. Closely linked is document control, because audit evidence is itself a controlled document.

Relation to standards

An audit programme with defined criteria, independent auditors and documented results is expected by ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 alike. The template names all three.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Part of these process maps

A single process says little about where it sits in the company. These maps show it among its neighbours.
