Provide an example of a tentative schedule for review. 5.The Lead Auditor will conduct an opening meeting and closing meeting for the CG YARD’s Top Management to summarize audit results, note difficulties, and give a draft report with recommendations for the continued certification. Provide an outline of typical opening/closing meetings. 6.The contractor shall have a multi-layered appeals system system through which the CG YARD may appeal any ruling, determination, or action of the Contractor relating to the auditing and registration processes. Explain how the appeals process works including how long each step should take. 7.Corroboration that contractor is a Registrar accredited through the American National Accreditation Program for Registrars of Quality Management Systems as administered by the American national Standards Institute –ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANSI-ANAB).
