When should the auditee be briefed during a 10-day system audit?

  1. Every day

  2. Every other day

  3. As requested by the auditee

  4. At the beginning and the end of the audit

The correct answer is: Every day

The most appropriate time to brief the auditee during a 10-day system audit is at the beginning and the end of the audit. This ensures that the auditee is fully informed about the audit objectives, scope, and methodology from the outset, which sets the stage for an effective audit process. Additionally, a final debriefing allows the auditor to present initial findings, discuss any issues identified, and outline next steps or required actions. Frequent daily briefings, while well-intentioned, may not be practical or necessary for the effectiveness of the audit. They could lead to redundancy in communication and potentially distract from the audit work being performed. Instead, establishing clear communication points at both the beginning and end serves to ensure that the auditee is engaged and informed without overwhelming them with constant updates throughout the process.
