I bet the plant manager wishes they had the power to initiate an audit, but that would be like the fox guarding the henhouse.

The auditee is the one being audited, so they definitely don't have the authority to initiate it. That would be like a criminal deciding to audit the police!

The lead auditor must have the authority to initiate an audit, otherwise how would they be able to do their job?

I agree with Aleshia. The lead auditor is in the best position to start the audit and ensure it is conducted properly.

I think the client has the authority to initiate an audit, as they typically want to ensure the auditee is meeting their requirements.

I think it makes sense for the lead auditor to initiate an audit because they are responsible for overseeing the audit process.
