What is a Pre-audit/Gap Analysis?
The pre-audit/Gap Analysis is optional. It will be no longer than half the duration of the initial audit. It will be carried out in the same way as an initial audit, and provides practice for the Auditee being audited. The objective is to find any major areas of weakness or aspects of the standards which are not addressed (either adequately or at all). The Auditee can request what elements are audited.
