During the interview with the Director, you audit clause 6.2 (Objectives and planning to achieve them). The dialogue is as follows:
You: Could you please tell me which environmental objectives were defined for last year and show evidence of their achievement?
Director: Yes. We had defined three objectives. As you can see from our Annual Plan, one of them was to separate our waste into four categories: paper, plastics, metals, and food.

Auditors need to communicate effectively with auditees. Therefore, their personal behaviour is a key characteristic in ensuring a successful audit.
Below is a list of these characteristics and a brief related description. Match the characteristics to the descriptions.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
1-C, 2-B, 3-A, 4-D
The correct matching is:
1. Fair, truthful, sincere, honest, discreet # C. Ethical
An auditor must act with integrity and honesty. Being fair, truthful, sincere, honest, and discreet reflects ethical behaviour, which is essential because auditors handle sensitive information and must maintain trust.
2. Willing to learn from situations # B. Open to improvement
An auditor should be willing to improve their own audit approach, learn from experience, and adjust based on new situations. This supports continual improvement in audit competence.
3. Tactful in dealing with individuals # A. Diplomatic
Being diplomatic means handling people respectfully and tactfully, especially when discussing sensitive issues, audit findings, or possible nonconformities.
4. Aware of and able to understand situations # D. Perceptive
A perceptive auditor notices and understands situations, behaviours, risks, and evidence during the audit. This helps the auditor identify relevant issues and evaluate audit evidence effectively.
So, the final matched answer is:
Fair, truthful, sincere, honest, discreet - Ethical
Willing to learn from situations - Open to improvement
Tactful in dealing with individuals - Diplomatic
Aware of and able to understand situations - Perceptive
