AMC M.B.702(e) Initial approval    

CAA ORS9 Decision No. 1

1. Findings should be recorded on an audit report form with a provisional categorisation as a level 1 or 2. Subsequent to the audit visit that identified the particular findings, the CAA should review the provisional finding levels, adjusting them if necessary and change the categorisation from ‘provisional’ to ‘confirmed’.

2. All findings should be confirmed in writing to the applicant organisation within 2 weeks of the audit visit.

3. There may be occasions when the CAA finds situations in the applicant's organisation on which it is unsure about compliance. In this case, the organisation should be informed about possible non-compliance at the time and the fact that the situation will be reviewed within the CAA before a decision is made. If the review concludes that there is no finding then a verbal confirmation to the organisation will suffice.
