Positive Auditing (print ref: Part 3, Section 3.3.4)
When recording observations on checklists during an Audit it is important to list everything that has been examined and not just those areas where problems or Non-compliances were noted. This is called "Positive Auditing" and is meant to give a balanced view of the whole Audit rather than just focussing on errors. For example, if five documents are examined and an error is noted on one of them, record the reference numbers of the four good documents as well as the one with the error. This practice will make the task of writing the Compliance Audit Reports much easier at the end of the Audit and will avoid giving an unfairly negative impression.
