Audit results

Answer:

Once surveillance audit is concluded the auditor must hold an audit closure meeting, informing among other things the results of the audit:
- any non-conformities (minor and/or major), opportunities for improvement, and observations identified
- his recommendation for the certification body (certification maintenance, certification maintenance after presentation of action plan to handle minor conformities, or certification on hold until major nonconformites are handled)

After the audit closure meeting the auditor must deliver a copy of the audit rep ort and, in case there are nonconformities to be handled, define a deadline for the deliver of the action plan / solving of major nonconformities.
