ABSTRACT

An audit of audits at a children’s hospital over a six year period showed that 27.8% fulfilled the criteria for a full audit and 22.2% were re-audited. It is recommended that newcomers to audit are given training on audit methodology and that all audit departments should audit their audits annually.

Keywords: auditing audits; closing the loop
