Which elements are typical in an AMQS audit report?

• A. Employee names and salaries.
• B. Marketing metrics.
• C. Scope, objective, findings, evidence, nonconformities, CAPA recommendations, and management response.
• D. Only the scope and conclusions.

Answer: (C)

An AMQS audit report should clearly capture what was examined, why the audit was conducted, and how issues will be addressed. The best answer includes the scope and objective to define what was covered and why, the findings supported by evidence to show what was observed, and the nonconformities identified with recommendations for corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) plus the management response to acknowledge and outline planned actions. This combination provides a complete, actionable record that links what was checked to what needs correcting, who is responsible, and how the issue will be resolved, ensuring traceability and accountability.

Options that introduce unrelated items, like employee names and salaries or marketing metrics, aren’t part of an AMQS audit report because they don’t pertain to the audit’s technical findings or the actions needed to improve the quality system. Providing only the scope and conclusions omits the actual findings, supporting evidence, and the required response and CAPA steps that drive improvement.
