Auditors Favorite Laws & More

- You will always find something in the last place you look.
- If you are looking for more than one thing, you'll find the most important one last.
- You will always get all the credit for the dumb audit finding or recommendation.
- When things are going right, you won't notice errors, so listen carefully to thoese being audited
- You only don't understand what you are auditing if you admit it.
- The glass is always full, half with water and half with air.
- You can't reason with Operations people who used to be auditors.
- Every audit finding is replaceable with a bigger finding.
- Whenever you make a finding, you will always find much more that needs to be fixed.
- The probability that you find something wrong is directly proportional to the square of the amount of inconvenience it can cause you during the exit conference.
- No degree of acceptance of audit findings can equal actual remediation of issues
- If things really look good, watch out, there is polyester over your eyes.

IF YOU ARE NOT ALWAYS CONFUSED, YOU ARE NOT IN TOUCH WITH REALITY
So stay confused, it's more fun that way.
