General Audit Report Post-Audit
3.4.3 Parallel Report
1 An audit may identify observations andor deficiencies in, or the misapplication of , Civil Aviation legislation, policies and procedures. Where an observation or deficiency indicates a need for revised policies, standards, procedures or guidelines, a finding shall be made against Civil Aviation and not the auditee. Where a non-conformance to a regulatory requirement is found, and that requirement required Civil Aviation approval i.e., document or manual approval, a finding shall be made against the auditee so that the non-conformance is resolved through the CAP as well as Civil Aviation. 2 Findings against Civil Aviation will be described in a document called the parallel report. The audit manager will forward the parallel report to the CA within 30 days of the completion of the audit and shall identify the problem, cause, responsibility and recommended solution for each finding. All supporting documentation shall be included in the parallel report. 3 Civil Aviation deficiencies shall neither be included nor referenced in the audit report.3.4.4 Parallel Report Follow-Up
1 Parallel report items shall be forwarded to DGCA who will assign an appropriate office for co-ordination and follow-up of those deficiencies. 2 A sample parallel report can be found in Appendix 11.3.5 Audit Follow-Up
3.5.1 General
Upon completion of the audit, the CA will delegate follow-up responsibilities to the appropriate office who will then ensure that all audit findings have been resolved in accordance with an approved CAP.3.5.2 Corrective Action Plan
1 The covering letter of the audit report will advise the auditee that it must submit a CAP addressing the audit findings within 30 working days. Normally, this deadline will not be extended without the CA’s approval. Part 2 ✈ Chapter 1 - Airworthiness Audit Policy and Procedures Page 33 Part 1 - Civil Aviation Audit Policy and Procedures MRA – 1st Edition September 1998 2 It is important to review the company’s CAP to determine whether the company has developed a reasonable timetable for corrective action. It is also essential to ensure that the timetable has prioritised the corrective actions to address the most critical findings first. 3 Depending on the nature of the audit findings, the company’s CAP should involve: a Immediate Corrective Action. This is action taken immediately upon identification of the audit finding to remove the immediate threat to aviation safety; b Short-Term Corrective Action. This is short-term action to correct a non-conformance that does not pose an immediate threat to aviation safety, which ensures that conformance is established quickly until long-term action is completed to prevent recurrence of the problem. Short-term corrective action will normally take place within 30 days; and c Long-Term Corrective Action. This is longer-term action and has two components. The first will involve identifying the cause of the problem and indicating the measures the company will take to prevent a recurrence. These measures should focus on a system change. The second component will include a timetable for company implementation of the long-term corrective action. Long-term corrective action will normally take place within twelve months. 4 Long-term corrective action should be accompanied by the forwarding of supporting documents for review. Short-term corrective action should also be accompanied by the forwarding of supporting documents, which may take the form of logbook entries, purchase orders, memoranda or revised inspection procedure cards. It is important to verify as much supporting documentation as possible during subsequent surveillance. 5 If the company’s CAP is not acceptable, the responsible office will indicate the reasons, propose changes and negotiate a new target date. Otherwise, an alternative course of action may be pursued. 6 Where the audit findings are of a minor nature, no threat to aviation safety exists and the company has a reputable quality assurance or internal audit program, a “paper follow-up” may be acceptable. In this case, the documents are submitted with the CAP and no interim surveillance is required. As the company completes its audit responses as Part of the CAP, its progress will be monitored. 7 An audit will be formally closed when every audit finding has been corrected through the CAP, the corrections have been found to be acceptable by the follow-up office and post-audit surveillance has been completed.Parts
