Respected member, I have a observation in ISO 9001:2015 from external auditor, "No documented notes found of internal audit activity". Can anyone share a template of audit notes. Regards, Saeed Afzal

Did you actually complete and WRITTEN internal audit and was that given to the auditor?  Where did you record your observations?

 

If yes-----did you implement corrective actions?

 

If no---that's the issue, they can't audit what they cannot see


Please stop referring to me as Sir/sirs

So maybe they found the notes insufficient?? because you said you made corrective actions against those ncrs. But what EXACTLY did the auditor raise about notes? Did you ask him about it further? Perhaps you did the corrective actions but did not document them?

All audited evidences shall be taken in the internal audit checklist including blank form called "audit notes".

Maybe the auditor is asking for notes on what you actually looked at and/or observed during your internal audits?   For instance if your reviewed the HACCP Documents for APR 15-20, 2020, JUL 1-5, 2020, NOV 09-13, 2020 and JAN 04-08, 2021 then you would list those dates as the paperwork reviewed for that part of your Internal Audit.  If you are doing an Internal Audit on receiving you would make a note on the audit form that you interviewed Receiver, Jane Doe, about receiving protocol and observed employee receive a load of spices.  Employee demonstrated knowledge of procedures and properly followed protocols as described in program and work procedures.  We are not under ISO but most of our auditors expect some details from the audits to help prove you are actually looking at things and not just checking off the boxes.
