Typically The email would come, “Hi Jo, AQIS is coming on this date”. I used to really stress when I knew these audits were going to take place, especially if it was pre-op. THEN I learnt to plan and to prioritise tasks.
For those that do not know, an AQIS auditor can and will look at anything and everything (Inside, outside, Roof, Drains, Documentation; ANYTHING). Looking back, Carlos was the one auditor that I remembered the most. He was extremely thorough, and I was determined to learn from my experience with these audits, so I wrote a plan to deal with every item that was touched during AQIS audits and naturally I called it the ‘Carlos’ plan.
