Audit time doesn’t have to be stressful. Knowing which issues crop up most often means you can address them before they become findings.
- Lack of evidence for management review
Reviews happen, but without proper records, it’s hard to show they’re effective.
Tip: Record clear actions and outcomes every time. - Training records not up to date
You’ve done the training – but can you prove it?
Tip: Keep a central log of competencies and refresher dates. - Poor control of documented information
Outdated procedures cause confusion.
Tip: Use version control and define how documents are updated. - Risk assessments not reviewed
Risk registers can’t just sit on a shelf.
Tip: Review them regularly – especially when things change. - Not following your own processes
Even great systems fall short if they’re not actually used.
Tip: Involve your team and check understanding often.
