We designed this audit procedure template to solve one of the most frustrating challenges in compliance management: keeping track of findings and follow-up actions. This focused tool combines compliance verification, detailed documentation of non-conformities, and action tracking in a single, easy-to-use format.

Deloitte notes that today’s auditing challenges include leveraging generative AI, motivating talent, and combating fraud, requiring strategic and proactive approaches. When conducting facility inspections, you can quickly identify issues, document specifics, and establish clear accountability for resolution with this template. This prevents the all-too-common problem of audit findings being discovered repeatedly without resolution.

Frequently asked questions

How can I customize this audit procedure template for my specific industry?

You can adapt this template by modifying the compliance check questions to reflect your industry’s specific regulations and standards. Focus on high-risk areas in your operations, add relevant regulatory requirements, and include company-specific policies that need verification. Consider your past compliance issues to ensure the template addresses recurring problems.

How do I ensure corrective actions are actually completed after the audit?

Create a follow-up schedule based on target completion dates, send regular reminders to responsible parties, and conduct verification checks once actions are reported complete. Consider implementing a simple status review meeting where responsible parties report progress. The status tracking section helps maintain visibility, but active follow-up is essential.

What should I do if corrective actions aren’t completed by the target date?

First, contact the responsible person to understand the barriers to completion. Adjust the timeline if legitimate obstacles exist, or escalate to higher management if necessary. Document the revised timeline and reasons for delay. For critical issues, consider implementing temporary mitigation measures while working toward the permanent solution.
