Auditees and corrective actions

Answer:

I presume that you are asking why auditees need to be involved in the development of a corrective action after an internal audit. The development of sound corrective actions depends on the determination of the cause(s) of a nonconformity. Normally, auditees are in the best position to identify possible cause(s) and to determine actions to remove or minimize them. Previous versions of ISO 9001 made it mandatory that the management of the audited areas were responsible for development of corrective actions, ISO 9001:2015 only requires that the audit results should be reported to the relevant management.
