Audit execution is where the auditing takes place. Before starting the auditor is presented with all relevant information. The audit is executed using an audit form. The audit forms are connected to the system and updated in real time. This means that previous data is converted into the form, like previous remarks or pending non-conformities. Any new non-conformity creates a separate workflow, as not to delay the audit.

Non-conformities range over all disputes. Once a non-conformity occurs the step assists management and auditors with the follow-up actions. For management it does so with timely reminders about follow-up actions and overviews of pending actions. When conducting a new audit at a location which previously had non-conformities, the system will update the auditor about the current status.
