An audit checklist is a set of questions that must be answered to verify requirements or standards are being met. It compensates for the limitation of human memory and helps the observer to ensure that nothing is missed or left behind. It enables the observer to better address compliance gaps and provides an opportunity for continuous improvement. Common examples of checklists are: to-do lists, preventive maintenance schedules, safety audit checklists and 5S audit checklists.

This template is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that you can use and modify to meet your specific needs. For example, you may add more rows if you want to add more questions. You can choose between the checklist option (to see if the checklist item exists or not) or the rating option (to rate the answers on a scale from 1 to 5). In both cases, the score results will be generated automatically.
