What this sheet is for
Run an audit against your own questions, with evidence and actions recorded beside each one rather than in a separate note.
Who it is for
Small businesses auditing their own procedures, committees checking a hall, franchisees, and anyone preparing for an external inspection.
How to use it
- Write your own questions. This is the part that decides whether the audit is useful.
- Record the evidence you actually saw, not the answer you were given.
- Mark findings plainly, including the ones that do not apply.
- Give every action an owner and a date.
- Set the next audit date before you file it.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: A blank audit sheet: your own questions down the side, the finding and the action beside each one.
The questions are yours to write. Deliberately empty. An audit checklist is only useful when the questions are the ones that matter for your own operation, and a printed set of somebody else's questions produces an audit that misses what is actually wrong.
Write-on lines: What is being audited · Date · Auditor · Reference · Standard, procedure or policy being audited against · Last audit
Table, 10 rows: No. · Question or requirement · Evidence seen · Finding · Action needed, owner and date
Write-on lines: Summary and next audit due · Signed
Questions
Why is the checklist empty?
Because an audit against somebody else's questions finds somebody else's problems. The layout is the useful part; the questions have to be yours.
