The SAQ/Audit & Audit Guidance sub-team are pleased to publish the PSCI Pre-Audit Guidance Document Checklist. The checklist has been published as a separate document, previously found in the Audit Guidance as Annex 1.

The audit checklist summarizes important documents which the audit team may want to see in advance for audit preparation or want to review during the onsite audit visit. Depending on the type of supplier or the information provided as per SAQ, the list may be shortened (e.g. for service providers) or extended (e.g. for complex chemical or pharmaceutical manufacturers).

The checklist has been drafted using the current Full SAQ and Audit Report Template, suggesting documents that may be required for each principle (Governance & Management Systems, Ethics, Human Rights, Environment and Health & Safety) and corresponding question.
