The first step in the audit process is Initiating the audit.
As per ISO 19011:2018 – Clause 6.3, initiating the audit involves activities such as appointing the audit team, defining the audit scope and objectives, and communicating with the auditee to set expectations.
After initiation, the auditor proceeds with document review, followed by the opening meeting, and then moves into audit execution and reporting.
[Reference: ISO 19011:2018 – Clause 6.3 (Initiating the audit), PECB Lead Auditor Guide – Domain 4: “Audit Lifecycle and Step-by-Step Process”, ===========]
