Conducting Audits can be a Science but Meaningful Audits is an Art:

• Identifying missing elements  and  obvious     nonconformances is easy,
• Identifying what is good and/or done right is necessary but difficult,
• Identifying nonconformances to the intent of the standards or ineffective processes and activities is  difficult in a working environment,
• Separating the trivial (observations and findings) from the Important takes judgement and experience,
• Lecturing about audit conduct and policy is easy,
• Asking the right questions is harder,
• Getting people to talk and listening to what they have to say can be difficult,
• Establishing credibility (audit has value) is an art, it must be earned,
• Maintaining control of the audit without turning off communications takes leadership,
• Separating fact from fancy takes experience; reliance on objective evidence, 
• Making recommendations to resolve findings is not good audit practice: lose objectivity, become part of the problem and lack of familiarity with the process and practice
• Making suggestions that would stimulate resolution is recommended, where necessary.
