ISO 19011:2018 - Guidelines for auditing management systems
6 Conducting an Audit
6.3 Preparing audit activities
6.3.4 Preparing documented information for audit
The audit team members should collect and review the information relevant to their audit assignments and prepare documented information for the audit, using any appropriate media. The documented information for the audit can include but is not limited to:
a) physical or digital checklists;
b) audit sampling details;
c) audio visual information.
The use of these media should not restrict the extent of audit activities, which can change as a result of information collected during the audit.
NOTE Guidance on preparing audit work documents is given in A.13.
Documented information prepared for, and resulting from, the audit should be retained at least until audit completion, or as specified in the audit programme. Retention of documented information after audit completion is described in 6.6. Documented information created during the audit process involving confidential or proprietary information should be suitably safeguarded at all times by the audit team members.
