    Hi Roxane and Andy,Thank you both for your comments. I'll work on to polish my Audit writing skills. Can you please suggest some course or books for Audit writing skills.

    If you have been to an auditor course, they should have taken you through this activity during the course. Most books on auditing explain how to write and audit NC. It's not simply audit reporting but how you audit. You appear to injected an expectation "Readily available" and that's what you reported. That's not a skill of reporting, although knowing how to report factually helps with this. Try not auditing a) to ISO requirements and b) by keeping subjectivity from your thoughts - just deal with facts.

    I always like to learn from the experts. If you and the moderators of this forum are planning to conduct training courses for Internal auditors please let us know do we can attend. Thank you.

    In writing an NC, I subscribe to the following simple guide:
    • There is no NC, if there's no requirement or audit criteria (i.e. what the organization has committed itself to do or something that the organization must fulfill).
    • There is no NC, if there's no audit evidence (i.e. exactly what the organization has or hasn't done that contradicts the requirement or that resulted in the failure to fulfill the requirement)
    So when I write an NC, statement on both the audit criteria and the audit evidence must be present.
