Audit observations vs Opportunity for improvement
During audit reporting, apart from the NCE identified, the auditor is expected to capture the observations and the OFI. How do you differentiate the observations from the OFI?

Hi James,
I think the observations are derived from the practices that the auditor experiences during his/her activity and these observations can either be the best practices as well or minor challenges that requires few modifications. These minor challenges can be parts of improvement as long as not documented as NCE.
But remember even the documented NCE are opportunities for improvement to the laboratory as the primary goal for conducting an audits and other evaluations are resulting to improvement (any output of the audit will lead to improvement).
