Here is a brief explanation of each statement:

The audit scope is typically determined by the organisation being audited: This statement applies to first-party audits, also known as internal audits, where the organisation audits its own processes and activities to ensure conformity and improvement1. The organisation can decide the scope of the audit based on its own needs and objectives2. This statement does not apply to second-party audits, where the customer audits the supplier, or third-party audits, where an independent body audits the organisation. In these cases, the audit scope is determined by the customer or the certification body, respectively34.

The outcome of the audit is typically certification to a recognised standard: This statement applies to third-party audits, where an independent body audits the organisation to verify that it meets the requirements of a specific standard, such as ISO 9001, and issues a certificate of conformity if the audit is successful34. This statement does not apply to first-party audits or second-party audits, where the outcome of the audit is not certification, but rather self-improvement or supplier qualification13.

The audit scope is typically confined to service/product provision capability: This statement applies to second-party audits, where the customer audits the supplier to ensure that they are meeting the requirements specified in the contract, such as service or product quality, delivery, or performance34. The audit scope is usually focused on the specific aspects of the service or product that are of interest to the customer3. This statement does not apply to first-party audits or third-party audits, where the audit scope is broader and covers the entire quality management system or the relevant clauses of the standard14.
