Audit Scope<br />

According to ISO 19011 the audit scope is the extent and boundaries of an audit.<br />

The audit scope normally includes a descripti<strong>on</strong> of the physical locati<strong>on</strong>s, organizati<strong>on</strong>al units,<br />

activities and processes, and the time period covered. The audit scope indicates or fixes a limit<br />

or extent of the audit. The scope has been described as the breadth of the audit and may<br />

specify areas not to be included in the audit.<br />

The scope or criteria of an audit can include:<br />

• Physical locati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

• Departments, areas, or units<br />

• Products, processes, or systems<br />

• Areas excluded from the audit<br />

• Timeline for audit activities or events<br />

• Relevant system and process policies, procedures, instructi<strong>on</strong>s, and plans<br />

• Applicable standards, c<strong>on</strong>tracts, regulati<strong>on</strong>s, codes, and other legal documents<br />
