• The contribution or potential contribution of the activity concerned to PDO’s overall HSE
performance.
• The results of previous audits.

appropriate sampling and should be verified. Only information that is verifiable may
be audit evidence. Audit evidence is based on samples of the available information
and should be recorded to help reaching audit conclusions.
• Generate audit findings

Audit team shall develop Audit Findings and determine ratings, risk/objectives based
on the observations made during the interviews, field visits and examination of
documents and records. Every Audit Finding should be based on demonstrable facts or
evidence and rated in line with the Assurance ratings definitions.
The primary criterion for rating Audit Findings is the risk to the achievement of
Business Objectives for the entity under audit. Whilst Low-Medium-High findings
indicate a continuum of increasing risk to the entity under audit, a Serious Finding
indicates a step-change in risk, and/or reflects notable impact on the entity under audit
or the company.
Classification of the audit findings shall be in accordance with the Rating Level table in
line with the matrix below.
• Classify audit findings

Table 3: Classification of audit findings
• Assess control acceptability of major risk areas.

The prime criterion for reaching a Control Acceptability Assessment is the level of
concern, as concluded by the Audit Team. This level of concern should be based
upon three key considerations:
The ‘implications’ for management, i.e. the action intended to be
provoked and by whom; the degree to which the Audit Team determines
the result of the audit needs to be escalated (or not).
The ‘scope of concern’, i.e. whether the exposure is seen to be confined
and contained, or whether it is far-reaching, potentially exposing other
entities.
The evidence gathered during the audit regarding the suitability and
effectiveness of the risk-based control framework for the entity under
audit in terms of achieving its objectives, i.e. the Audit Findings.
A three-point scale for Controls Assessments: Controls Acceptable, Controls Need

Improvement or Controls Need Major Improvement. As with the rating of Audit
Findings, this scale represents a continuum of increasing risk and increasing concern.
A “Controls Need Major Improvement” assessment indicates a step-change in the level
of concern.
The following terminology and scale are to be used for the Controls Assessments:
