Audits should be based on facts
Key take-aways:
- Stick to the facts
- Definitions matter
- Recipients of audit reports should be clearly identified
- Work should "stand alone," i.e. anyone reviewing the document should arrive at the same conclusion using the documentation provided.
- Clearly identify roles and responsibilities to the parties involved in the audit
- Follow through on action plans, require proof of action.

We are being informed that audits should be based on facts and not assumptions. That there should be accountability for audit should
be available in hard copy or electronic form.
My takeaway in this section is the need for fact-based auditing. I was happy to read that it is imperative in the audit process that the presentation of information be fact versus opinion-based.
