Auditors can audit their own work

Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Auditors cannot audit their own work as it goes against the principles of independence and objectivity.

If auditors were allowed to audit their own work, it would create a conflict of interest and undermine the credibility of the audit process. Therefore, it is essential for auditors to remain independent and have a separate entity or team audit their work.Rate this question:

The implementation of ISO 9001 means you don't have to worry about statutory requirements
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The implementation of ISO 9001 does not mean that you don't have to worry about statutory requirements. ISO 9001 is a quality management system standard that focuses on ensuring consistent quality in products and services. While ISO 9001 can help organizations meet certain regulatory requirements, it does not cover all statutory requirements that may be applicable to a specific industry or location.

If you can't verify an output of a process you can be cited for a nonconformance
-
True
-
False
