What is Required During the Closing Meeting?

The Closing Meeting

The Closing or Exit Meeting is scheduled between the Auditors and the representative Auditees at the end of an audit. This is when a draft report of audit findings and observations are discussed and presented. The contents include:

• The Opening remarks and thanks
• The Attendee list
• A Review of the Audit objective and scope
• Reiterating the restrictions and limitations of the audit
• Informing the Client on the good practices
• A summary of the review findings
• A list of problems identified and their descriptions
• Clarification of any concerns
• Summarizing and the inclusion points agreed upon
• The Closing and Record of thanks to all the participants
• Saving the audit findings as records

Issue the Audit Report

The report on the overall examination of the BC Plan must be clear and concise. The information put across must provide a constructive and objective statement of the successes and failures of the BC Plan.

Before the release of the report, the contents should be discussed by the Auditor with the Organization BCM Coordinator and his/her Executive Management. Any errors or inconsistencies in the findings will detract from the Auditor’s objectivity in providing an opinion on the ability of the organization to recover in case of a disaster.
