GET TO WORK
- Audit your manuals and processes versus the IS-BAO. Determine whether new manuals are required or if changes, updates or a complete re-write is necessary.
- Self audit your entire department using the IS-BAO. Rule of thumb – If it is not documented…. It is not taking place. If you can’t produce a procedure and/or paper trail; chances are your auditor will not be able to either. DO NOT put your department and auditor in an uncomfortable position when so much is at stake!
