Part H – Monitoring and evaluation

An audit will take place and you had to plan for the audit and review process of the organisation’s document standards. The audit will seek to measure the extent to which the targets or performance indicators are being met. It should also identify any opportunities for improvement.

Start by developing your audit questions. These are the questions that you hope your review will answer. The questions should be relevant to the document performance indictors you set. The following are some examples of audit questions:
• Has the target been met?
• What prevented the targets from being met?
• Are employees aware of the requirements?
• Are procedures being followed?
• Have record keeping processes been followed?
