9.1 Records from all audits conducted should be
maintained by the Secretary-General. Such records should include:
-
.1 Member State audit interim and final reports;
-
.2 Member State audit summary reports; and
-
.3 audit team leaders' mission reports.
9.2 An audit follow-up should, if applicable,
be conducted between one and two years following a Member State audit,
in order to determine the status of implementation of the corrective
action plan.
9.3 The standard auditing procedures applied to
the audit follow-up are the same as for the regular Member State audit
described in this document. The only exception is the difference in
scope, as the audit follow-up should be limited to issues identified
during the initial audit as being in need of improvement or further
monitoring.
9.4 The audit follow-up team will normally consist
of an audit team leader and other members as required depending on
the scope of the audit. Where possible, at least one of the audit
team members for an audit follow-up should have been a member of the
original audit team.
