ISO-9001-Lead-Auditor Exam Question 41

Scenario 2:
Bell is a Canadian food manufacturing company that operates globally. Their main products include nuts, dried fruits, and confections. Bell has always prioritized product quality and has maintained a good reputation for many years. However, the company's production error rate increased significantly, leading to more customer complaints.
To increase efficiency and customer satisfaction, Bell implemented a Quality Management System (QMS) based on ISO 9001. The top management established a QMS implementation team comprising five middle managers from various departments, including Leslie, the quality manager.
Leslie was responsible for assigning responsibilities and authorities for QMS-related roles. He also suggested including a top management representative in the QMS team, but top management declined due to other priorities.
The team defined the QMS scope as:
"The scope of the QMS includes all activities related to food processing." Leslie established a quality policy and presented it to the team for review before top management approval.
Top management also proposed a new strategy for handling customer complaints, requiring biweekly customer surveys to monitor customer perceptions.
Which of the following indicates that Bell has defined its quality objectives?

    Scenario 3:
    Fin-Pro is a financial institution in Austria offering commercial banking, wealth management, and investment services. The company faced a significant loss of customers due to failing to improve service quality as they expanded.
    To regain customer confidence, top management implemented a QMS based on ISO 9001. After a year, they contacted ACB, a local certification body, to pursue ISO 9001 certification.
    The audit team was led by Emilia, an experienced lead auditor, and included three auditors. After an agreement was reached, ACB sent the audit objectives to the audit team.
    The audit team began by gathering information about Fin-Pro's understanding of ISO 9001 requirements.
    While reviewing documented information, they noticed missing records of training and awareness sessions.
    They conducted employee interviews to verify attendance.
    The team also reviewed the organizational chart and job descriptions to confirm employee competence. They observed the company's working environment (social, psychological, and physical conditions).
    The audit team analyzed the evidence and prepared an audit report with findings and conclusions.
    In scenario 3, the audit team required access to see the organizational chart and job descriptions to verify the employees' competence. Based on audit best practices, is this acceptable?
