Thought On Audit
A thought on Audit approach from Some of companies Senior Management’s side or Auditor’s side ( some of both of them ).
Some tend to perceive that a clean or concise audit report means that the Auditors did not perform their task well , even some auditors do not feel proud of their audit report came short and with few remarks And feel the Glory of Victory when the Audit reports comes full and fat.
Well First , A healthy operation enhances and improves year over year , so it is normal that points get reduced either after a while , or over a short period , it depends on the team and the plan . So do not feel bad about it , there are operations and people who do their own self audit where eventually many gaps are tackled
Second , It is not unusual to a clean and clear report or short report often . Audit job is to review and revert if things are good and not good , the criteria of work is completely irrelevant to how many points are up to the mark or not . His job is to verify and tick the boxes .
Airlines pilots do daily audits using their checklist before taking off and it s always clear , and this is reflected through the safety of air travel . Does a clear report means that they haven’t done their pre-flight audit ! sure not .
Leaders , Auditors and any concerned should get over this thought that always audit report should be big and full to reflect a job well done . Just be proud that someone is doing a good job in your company or the company that hired you to do the audit . Who would complaint about a good running operation ! ……………………. Shafik Alaaeddine
