Who is responsible for logistics and CAPs execution in the auditing process?

The team lead is responsible for logistics and Corrective Action Plans (CAPs) execution in the auditing process because they play a crucial role in coordinating and overseeing the audit activities. The team lead ensures that all logistical elements, such as scheduling, resources allocation, and communication with stakeholders, are handled efficiently. Additionally, they are tasked with the implementation and monitoring of CAPs to address any findings from the audit. This oversight is essential to ensure that the audit process runs smoothly and that corrective actions are effectively carried out to improve the audited system or process.

In contrast, while auditors collect and analyze data, they generally do not manage logistical elements or lead the execution of CAPs. The client representative typically provides necessary insights and support from the client’s perspective but is not responsible for managing the audit logistics. An independent reviewer may assess the audit findings but does not usually engage in the day-to-day management or execution of logistics or corrective actions within the audit.
