ISO 9001 Audit objectives

Let us consider two cases:

Case A

If the audit Program only includes one audit (the scope is the whole quality management system) we may say that both audit program and audit plan have the same purpose, have the same objective.

Case B

If the audit program includes a set of audits, then we have different objectives. For example, the audit program objective is about the whole set of audits, but each audit will have a different objective and a different audit plan because they may have different scopes and different audit objectives.

For each audit, whatever the case, the audit process objective is the same: being able to arrive at sound conclusions based on the audit plan objectives and on the findings based on solid evidence.
