Audit Documentation & Objective Evidence Preparation
The Audit Is Won or Lost in the Records Behind the Procedure
MDSAP auditors need objective evidence that processes are implemented and effective. Readiness therefore includes organizing records so they can be retrieved quickly, traced to current procedures and reconciled across departments. A beautifully written SOP cannot compensate for incomplete, contradictory or poorly controlled records.

What the Auditor Is Really Testing
- Whether the record is contemporaneous, complete and duly approved
- Whether the record was generated under the correct valid procedure revision
- Whether data and cross-references from different systems fully reconcile
- Whether sampled evidence demonstrates a consistent pattern of effective quality control
- Whether records can be retrieved smoothly without creating new ad-hoc explanations during the audit
How NKB Regovanta Approaches It
We do not recommend building an “audit room” of selected perfect records. We identify representative record populations, test retrieval and verify consistency. The objective is to ensure the normal operating evidence can withstand sampling - because experienced auditors will follow anomalies and expand samples when the first records raise questions.
