You are carrying out an audit at an organisation seeking certification to ISO 9001 for...

In this scenario, the organization has set a quality objective of achieving a 90% minimum exam pass rate for all courses. The auditor’s task is to assess whether this objective is being monitored effectively and if appropriate actions are taken when the objective is not met.

B. You would determine how the exam pass rate figures were analysed: ISO 9001:2015, particularly Clause 9.1 (Monitoring, measurement, analysis, and evaluation), requires organizations to evaluate performance data. The auditor should verify how the organization analyses the pass rate data to ensure trends are identified, and corrective actions are planned based on this analysis.

D. You would determine what corrective action was being taken to address the low pass rates: When performance falls short of the objective, as seen with Course 4 (where the pass rate is below 90% in all months), Clause 10.2 (Nonconformity and corrective action) requires organizations to take corrective actions to address issues. The auditor would need to check if corrective actions have been initiated to address consistently low pass rates.

Statements A, C, E, and F do not directly address the monitoring and corrective action required under ISO 9001:2015 in this context​​.
