Horror Stories in Auditing 5





Horror Stories in Auditing

Over the years I have received from many known persons certain horror stories which I would like to share here.


5. Location Trivandrum

Auditor team from the leading Certification body of the pleasure capital of Europe, arrived from Delhi. It was a multiple day audit. The auditors were behaving like headmasters.(Arrogant)

         The auditors had come (mostly retired people) first time to this part of the country. They had heard that good spices will be available in Kerala. They made their list and handed over their demands to their counterpart in the client organisation

        The MR (lady) prepared the list and arranged purchase of separate 4 bundles of spices, intended for each member of the team. The spices (supposed to be complimentary and costing thousands of rupees) 4 bundles were handed over to the auditors. Half the team left on the last day by 11 a.m. They carried with them all the four bundles.

        The M.R was flabbergasted; she had to once again arrange two bundles for the remaining team.

Whither dignity of auditing?
