Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

In the context of a third-party certification audit, it is very important to have effective communication between the audit team and the auditee. The formal communication channels, such as the names and contact details of the audit team members, the auditee representatives, the audit client and any other relevant parties, can be established during the opening meeting. This helps to ensure that the audit objectives, scope, criteria, methods, schedule and any other arrangements are clearly understood and agreed by all parties. It also facilitates the exchange of information, feedback, requests, concerns and complaints during the audit process. Reference: = ISO 19011:2022, clause 6.4.2; PECB Candidate Handbook ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, page 25.

I remember discussing the importance of communication in audits, but I'm not sure if it's the team leader's sole responsibility or if everyone should communicate concerns.

I feel pretty confident about this one. Based on my understanding of audit best practices, the answer is A - the auditors should periodically communicate any concerns to both the auditee and the audit client during the audit process.

Option D, really? Might as well just have the auditor and auditee play a game of charades during the audit. C is the only sensible choice here.

Hmm, I'm torn between B and C. Maybe the audit team leader should be the main point of contact, but they can establish the formal channels in the opening meeting? Either way, communication is key, that's for sure.

Option B is interesting, but doesn't the audit team leader have enough on their plate already? Spreading the communication responsibility seems like a recipe for confusion. C is the way to go, in my opinion.
