Conclusion
BRC Food Audit checklist is unlikely to achieve
the level of detail required for an internal
audit as evidence of the audit must be documented
in a report that contains details of conformity
as well as non-conformity. Its important that
corrective action is completed. The corrective
action and the timescales for completion should
be agreed by the auditor and the relevant area
manager, and documented on the audit report. The
auditor will also record when the action is
satisfactorily completed.
