In conducting the audit,each auditor keeps notes that provide the basis f or the score assigned to each item.These notes contain sufficient detail,identification,and/or examples so that they assist the auditor in docu menting the findings at the end of the audit.If applicable,(i.e.,not a general finding),t hese findings need to be specific enough so that the auditor and/or the auditee and/or subsequent audits or examinations can retrieve t he item t hat led to t he finding.This is done by providing sufficient inf or mation about the finding including identification,location,and any other infor mation that may assist.
