NOTES: INSPECTION AND AUDIT FUNCTIONS CAA inspection and audit functions confirm for CAA that an organisation is operating in compliance with regulatory requirements. There will be times when it is not possible or necessary to review or examine 100% of a company’s operation. This is when sampling principles apply. Inspection and audit checklists have been developed to provide a systematic approach to the inspection of an organisation various specialty areas. The checklists are designed to identify specific items within each specialty area and to make reference to applicable regulatory requirements. Where an organisation fails to comply with these requirements, they will be considered to be in non-compliance and will be required to undertake corrective action. AUDIT PLANNING The following should be considered when scheduling an audit;

(a) The feasibility of the audit dates and time-periods with consideration given to availability of inspectors and the operator.

(b) The allocation of time for pre-audit/inspection activities. (c) Team member travel requirements. (d) The compiling of the required documentation. (e) The contents of the organisation manual of procedures and file should be studied for background

knowledge and to detect any shortcomings/anomalies. (f) The audit objectives and scope.

PRE-AUDIT MEETING A pre-audit team meeting is important as it informs team members of the expectations of the team leader. It also provides an opportunity for team members to clear up any questions and gain clarity on their specific roles. Agenda items must be discussed and formalised at this meeting. The audit schedule must be discussed and formalised which must include additional time prior to the closing meeting to allow inspectors to formalise the preliminary audit report. The audit schedule is sent to the client prior to the audit to ensure that the client allocate enough resources to cover the schedule. OPENING MEETING An Opening meeting must be held. It is important in that it establishes communications between the Operator’s- and CAA’s audit teams. (See checklist CA145-18 for the standard agenda). For local audits, The client must be notified of the hourly rates that apply from audit planning, inspection and post audit activities. The agenda must be followed as a guide during the briefing at all times to ensure that the client understands all expectations and the scope of the audit. The audit schedule is also discussed to ensure that the client will be able to accommodate the schedule. AUDIT FINDINGS A finding is when the Organisation is found to be non-compliant/contravening all relevant legislation and/or approved operating procedures. The severity of the finding must be identified based on its nature and the compromise it renders to safety. Audit findings are the fundamental in formulating recommendations, so it is important that they be informative to reflect actual nature (descriptive) and the requirements. Findings must be rated aligned to the Safety & Security Oversight Policy (Levels 1,2 & 3). CLOSING MEETING The closing meeting is conducted to with the Operator’s senior management. They are debriefed on all the results of the audit. The preliminary report is issued to the client based on the outcome of the audit. The client is informed that a final report will be issued within 3 days.

POST AUDIT ACTIVITIES Issue final audit report within 3 days. These also include Evaluating action plan, issuing final audit report. These also include performance of internal processes such as but not limited to issuance of invoices, certificate of approval, OPSPECS, Filing and Administrative actions, approval of documents and updates of internal tracking system. Note: For overseas audits all applicable fees must be paid in full and confirmed by CAA finance

before the audit and undertaking of the journey.
