Exam ISO-45001-Lead-Auditor Topic 1 Question 18 Discussion

The correct answers are B, E, and G .
G is true because ISO 19011 states that a closing meeting should be held to present the audit findings and conclusions . This applies to audits generally, not only third-party audits. ( Oshisis ) E is true because ISO 19011 guidance says that for some audit situations the closing meeting may be formal, but in other instances, such as internal audits, the closing meeting can be less formal and may simply consist of communicating the findings and conclusions. That means a first-party closing meeting is commonly less formal than a third-party certification closing meeting. ( Synersia Foundation ) B is also true . ISO 19011 and related guidance allow the use of remote methods / ICT in audit activities, and remote audit methods may be combined with on-site methods. From that, it follows that the audit team leader may arrange for audit team members to join activities such as the closing meeting virtually , where appropriate and controlled. This is an inference from the permitted use of ICT in audits. ( ISO ) Why the others are false:
* A is false because the closing meeting is for presenting findings and conclusions, not for changing findings simply because the auditee is unhappy. Findings can be clarified, but not changed without objective evidence. ( Oshisis )
* C is false because there is no rule that the audit team must meet formally immediately after the closing meeting to consider recommendations.
* D is false because ISO 19011 says some closing meetings may be formal and recorded, but internal audits can be less formal, so they do not always have to be documented in that way. ( Synersia Foundation )
* F is false because the audit team leader is responsible for managing the audit team and assigning roles.
* H is false because the closing meeting should be chaired by the audit team leader , not by the audit client. ( Oshisis )
