PECB Exam ISO-9001-Lead-Auditor Topic 4 Question 15 Discussion

Actual exam question for PECB's QMS ISO 9001:2015 Lead Auditor exam
Question #: 15
Topic #: 4
[All QMS ISO 9001:2015 Lead Auditor Questions]

At the end of a second-party audit, the audit team enters the meeting room to hold the closing meeting; only

two people are present and waiting for them: the Health and Safety supervisor and the Administrative Officer.

Neither has participated in the audit. However, the team had previously agreed with the auditee Quality

Manager on two nonconformities identified during the audit (NC1 and NC2).

They said:

Health and Safety Supervisor: "Good evening. We are sorry to inform you that the general manager was

involved in a serious car accident, and the other two managers have had to leave urgently to attend to the

emergency."

The Administration Officer: "Concerning 'nonconformity 2', the General Manager left a message asking us

to tell you that he does not accept it and requests you not to include it in the audit report. Here is a note in

which he explains why."

Which one of the following would be your preferred answer (as team leader) to the General

Manager's request?

Whoa, the General Manager must be pretty worried if he's trying to interfere like this. I'd say option D is the way to go - stand firm and include the nonconformity in the report.

Ha! The General Manager thinks he can just throw his weight around and make the audit team do his bidding. Good luck with that, buddy. This is going to be an interesting phone call.

Lynelle: It's going to be tough to change the nonconformity after it was already accepted during the audit.

B) OK. Please, let me review the message. I will try to see if I can change the text of the nonconformity if necessary. Let's take a 10-minute break, as I would like to discuss this issue with the audit team.

Hmm, I'm not sure I'd be comfortable letting the General Manager's letter sway the audit report. We need to maintain our independence and integrity as the audit team.

The General Manager can't just waltz in and demand that the audit findings be changed. That's not how it works! This is a serious issue and needs to be handled professionally.
