Actual exam question for PECB's ISO-22301-Lead-Implementer exam
Question #: 4
Topic #: 2
[All ISO-22301-Lead-Implementer Questions]

Scenario:

Headquartered in Sri Lanka, Operons Inc. is a freight forwarding company that adopted a BCMS aligned with ISO 22301. Prior to the certification audit, Operons Inc. measured gaps between their BCMS and the standard's requirements to ensure compliance. The certification body was contracted to conduct the audit, and a biased auditor from a previous ISO 9001 audit was replaced upon request. During the audit, two minor nonconformities were identified, and the audit team issued a recommendation for certification.

In Scenario 8, the certification body accepts Operons Inc.'s rejection of the auditor and appoints another one. Is this acceptable?

B, absolutely. You can't have an auditor with a history of unprofessional behavior. It's like asking a fox to guard the henhouse. Nope, nope, nope.

This one's a no-brainer. The correct answer is C. If the auditor's been in the company before, it's only fair to bring in a new set of eyes. Although, I have to say, I'm more worried about the biased auditor than the two minor nonconformities. Sounds like a spicy situation!

C) Yes, the auditor has previously audited the company against ISO 9001, which is a valid reason for replacing the auditor.

That's a good point, but I still believe the reason for rejection should be based on a conflict of interest.

I disagree, if the auditor displayed unprofessional conduct before, it's valid to replace them.

I think it's not acceptable to reject the auditor just because of a previous audit.

I'm going with B. Unprofessional conduct is a big no-no, and the company has every right to request a replacement. It's like the old saying goes: 'Once a bad auditor, always a bad auditor.'

C seems like the obvious choice here. If the auditor has already audited the company against ISO 9001, that's definitely a valid reason to replace them. Gotta keep things fresh, am I right?

Hmm, I think the correct answer is B. The auditor's previous unprofessional conduct is a valid reason to replace them, even if there's no direct conflict of interest. Can't have biased auditors, you know?
