Auditor's checklists

"We are in the final phase of the implementation of the quality management system (ISO9001 V 2015) in our power plant, we have been audited (white audit) and I found that the auditor focused on the mastery of the activity more than formalities More than the formalities. Since we have developed processes and procedures, we have to use the risk approach as well. My question is - does each auditor have his own checklist and can he focus only on formalities.”

Answer:

Normally, each auditor uses his own checklist. So, you can be audited by someone more focused on formalities. ISO 9001:2015 has no mandatory procedures. So, auditors may focus their attention more on results, on effectiveness and less is procedures.
