Auditing ISO documents

An audit is not an 100% inspection. An audit is always based on a sample. The findings based on that sample when compared with the audit objectives allow the audit team to draw the audit conclusions. It is a good practice to include this kind of disclaimer in the audit report. An extreme case would be if the audit objectives establishes the rule that all documents and records should be audited.
