Question no: 14 Verified Answer: =

A) Advise the Quality Manager that an extension of the scope is possible but will have to go through established procedures. and E. Suggest that she will advise the programme manager that the audit scope should be revised to include the new work area. Comprehensive But Short = A Stage 1 audit is a preliminary assessment to evaluate the readiness of the organisation for the Stage 2 certification audit. The audit scope is defined by the audit client and the certification body based on the application and the contract. If the organisation wants to include a new work area that was not part of the original scope, the auditor should advise the Quality Manager that an extension of the scope is possible but will have to go through established procedures, such as submitting a formal request, providing relevant information, and paying additional fees. The auditor should also suggest that the Quality Manager will advise the programme manager, who is responsible for managing the audit programme, that the audit scope should be revised to include the new work area. The programme manager will then decide whether to approve or reject the request, and communicate the decision to the auditor and the Quality Manager. The auditor should not proceed with the audit of the new work area without the approval of the programme manager and the confirmation of the audit scope. 1234 Reference:

E seems extreme, why cancel the whole audit?

I recall something about needing to communicate changes to the audit scope properly, but I'm not confident if that means suggesting a complete cancellation like in option E.

I think we practiced a similar question where the auditor had to assess if the new area was covered by the existing management system. That makes me lean towards option D.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like the audit should stick to the original scope unless there's a strong reason to change it. Maybe option B?

I remember we discussed how important it is to follow established procedures for scope changes during audits. So, I think option A might be the right choice.

I'm a bit confused here. Option D seems like it could be a good approach, but I'll need to double-check the details of the Quality Management System to make sure it covers the new work area.

This is straightforward. The audit scope has been set, so I'd go with option B and advise the Quality Manager that the audit will proceed as planned.

Okay, I've got a strategy in mind. I think option A is the way to go - advise the Quality Manager about the procedures for extending the scope, and work with them to get that done properly.

Haha, Option E is a classic move - 'let's reapply for the whole thing!' Nice try, Quality Manager, but the auditor's not falling for that one.
