Not sure about F. Seems too broad for an audit focus.

I keep thinking about the interested parties' requirements. It seems important, but I wonder if it’s as essential as the ISO 9001 requirements.

I feel like understanding the organisation's processes is crucial too, but I can't recall if it was one of the options we focused on in our study group.

I remember practicing a question about ISO 19011 principles, and it seems really relevant for auditors. Maybe that’s the second one we should choose?

I think the requirements of ISO 9001 are definitely one of the key topics we need to know, but I'm not sure about the second one.

I'm a little confused - the question mentions "every member of an audit team," so I'm not sure if we need to consider the organization's financials or interested parties other than customers. Maybe those are less relevant for the whole team.

I've got this! The audit team needs to know the organization's processes and market sector, in addition to the ISO 9001 requirements. That should cover the key areas.

Okay, let's think this through. The question is asking about the knowledge and skills needed by the audit team, so I'd focus on things like the requirements of the ISO 9001 standard and the audit principles from ISO 19011.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know the ISO 9001 standard is important, but I'm not sure which specific topics are most relevant.

This looks straightforward - the key is to focus on the core knowledge requirements for an ISO 9001 audit team.

I'm leaning towards the antivirus/antispyware software option. That could potentially block the unwanted apps, though it might not be as precise as the whitelisting/blacklisting approach.

B and F? Audit principles and interested parties? Who cares about that when you can just focus on the juicy financial details, am I right?

Haha, D is a good one! I bet the auditor can use that info to negotiate a bigger fee for the audit. But yeah, A and E are the way to go.

D? Really? What do the organization's invoicing and profits have to do with the audit? A and E are the obvious choices here.

I believe B) ISO 19011 Audit principles and F) Requirements of auditee's interested parties other than customers are also important to consider during the audit process.
