I'm curious if anyone has not had Operations or other management representation during the audit walkthrough. I'm a couple of days away from our SQF recert audit and just learned that the only person that ever accompanied the auditor was quality. Then they would have a Q&A session afterwards.
I've been in quality for 20 years and have been in 3-4 dozen audits and I've never heard of quality going alone without Ops representation. I don't mind going it alone but there are things I'm not going to be able to answer and to me it seems that having Ops there takes care of the questions immediately rather than looping back around.
Just curious to see if others have experienced this.
Thanks
