Audit Report Template

An audit report for writing up the results of an internal audit - the scope, criteria and objectives, the dates and auditors, then the general findings, any observations or non-conformances, good practice and opportunities for improvement, and anything needing further follow-up. It gives the auditor a clear structure to report what the audit found.

ISO 9001 requires the results of audits to be reported to relevant management and acted on (clause 9.2). This report gives you a consistent way to record and communicate audit findings so they lead to action rather than sitting in a checklist.

Built for ISO 9001 Audit Reporting

The report captures what an audit write-up needs, supporting clause 9.2:

• The scope, criteria and objectives audited
• The dates of the audit and the auditors involved
• General findings, observations and any non-conformances
• Good practice, opportunities for improvement and any follow-up required

What's Included in this Audit Report

The form is set out so an audit can be reported in one place:

• Header - completed by, date and distribution
• Audit details - scope, criteria and objectives, dates and auditors
• Findings - general findings, observations and non-conformances, good practice and opportunities for improvement
• Follow-up - further follow-up required or areas not covered, plus notes

Who Needs an Audit Report?

Any organisation running internal audits needs a consistent way to report the results. It suits internal auditors and management-system leads, and supports the audit reporting required under ISO 9001 and every ISO management system.

Pairs with the Audit Checklist and Audit Schedule

The report writes up an audit run with the F-Q2 Audit Checklist and planned on the F-Q17 Internal Audit Schedule, so the three work as a set.
