Audit Closure (print ref: Part 3, Section 5.4)
Once all the necessary Corrective Action has been checked by the Auditor and found to be satisfactory, the Audit can be formally "closed" and this will involve the following activities.
Non-compliance Sign-off
During the Follow-up Audit, the Auditor checks the Corrective Action that has been implemented for each Non-compliance found during the original Audit. The details of how the Corrective Action has been implemented and whether it has been effective are then recorded at the bottom of the Non-compliance Record. Once the Auditor is satisfied with these findings the Non-compliance Record is signed off by the Auditor and the Data Protection Representative.
Compliance Audit Report Closure
Once all of the Non-compliance Records associated with an Audit have been signed off as described in "Non-compliance Sign-off" above, the bottom section of the Compliance Audit Report can be signed off by the Auditor and the Data Protection Representative. This will then formally close the Audit.
