Audit timeline - On site activity Entry meeting • Opportunity for introductions; • ICAO provides explanation of process; and • The State to provide a description of their organization. Conduct of interviews • Start with group interviews for Legislation and Organization; • Importance of time management - Audit plans are on strict schedule - State coordinators to ensure Protocol questions are organized, assigned and prepared for the interviews - ICAO team continues their work after State hours - A complex audit will take up to two weeks - Industry visits require State observer 14 RDIMS/SGDDI
Audit timeline - On site activity Closing meeting • meeting is for ICAO team to present their preliminary findings • no discussion of these findings is intended • beginning of timeline for acceptance of findings and the final report. 15 RDIMS/SGDDI

Canadian Preparation for the Audit -Coordination -Communications -Arrangements for daily debriefs -Training for State interviewees 17 RDIMS/SGDDI
Application of ICAO process in The Pre-Audit phase Cont’d Coordination • three areas to be involved in coordination – Civil Aviation, Transportation Safety Board and Department of National Defense • Started work on advance arrangements for: » Accommodations and office facilities » Security clearances » Transportation arrangements for industry and regional visits 18 RDIMS/SGDDI
Scope for Canadian auditing initiatives contin’d Need for Internal Coordination System - State organizational structure does not parallel audit protocol organization or ICAO annexes - need to arrange and schedule appropriate interview candidates - need to support ICAO auditor during the audit 19 RDIMS/SGDDI
Application of ICAO process in The Pre-Audit phase Cont’d Communications - Need for close coordination between State Coordinator and ICAO Team - Resulted in effective coordination for planning and resolution of Protocol question issues - Introduction of Daily Audit debrief requirement - Daily feedback for Management and Interviewees - Triggers for providing follow-up clarification - ICAO tool for managing “areas of concern” 20 RDIMS/SGDDI
Scope for Canadian auditing initiatives contin’d Training for the State’s interviewees - Improved understanding of their role and the audit process; - Guidance on role reversal from auditor to interviewee; and - Guidance on what are suitable questions. 21 RDIMS/SGDDI
Preparation by the Interviewee • Protocol questions for specialty areas are available on ICAO’s web site; • Critical elements numbers on the protocol questions confused the interviewees during their preparation for the audit 22 RDIMS/SGDDI
Observations on the Canadian Audit Experience - description of ICAO’s Audit Plan; - observations on the interviews; - observations on the audit process; and - a description of the Findings 23 RDIMS/SGDDI

A Description of ICAO’s Audit Plan 25 RDIMS/SGDDI
The Interview Process Contin’d Observations on the Interviews – ICAO’s lack of organizational understanding lead to misdirection of questions and inappropriate responses – Interviewees were frustrated by auditors changing the order of the Protocol questions as well as by questioning from shaded areas - T. C. frustration over amount of inputs that were not addressed – No use of non-international inventories – Did not address Annex 10 26 RDIMS/SGDDI
Daily Debriefs – Began on the end of second full day of interviews • Attended by State coordinator and ICAO Team Lead – Records provided to coordinators and ICAO • Interviewees verified proper understanding and necessity to provide additional information • ICAO used to manage their follow-up issues and confirm accuracy of record – During the Daily Debriefs, ICAO used the terminology “Area of concern” and at the closing meeting the term was changed to “Preliminary Draft Finding” 27 RDIMS/SGDDI
The closing meeting - Canada had all audit participants attend to ensure full understanding of results and to undertake immediate attention to corrective action. - Each ICAO specialist summarized the preliminary findings for their area - Canada responded with commitment to follow through on Findings. - ICAO ended the meeting with the request to complete a State Assessment form and the commitment to continue using the “Daily Debrief” as part of their audit process 28 RDIMS/SGDDI
Closing meeting Contin’d Was the audit a success? • From the state perspective; – Were the logistics met? • From the State and ICAO perspective; – Was a proper understanding of the state program developed to permit a satisfactory “systems” assessment? 29 RDIMS/SGDDI
Findings • ICAO auditors admitted that they had to dig deep to find non-compliance • There were “areas of concern” we disagreed with and upon clarification were able to resolve • Others included: – – international conditions on licenses Cabin crew flight and duty times PPCs every two years Notify ICAO of exemptions 30 RDIMS/SGDDI
Lessons Learned 1. Being a “Beta” audit did not impact the final results 1. A shortage of time did not prevent preparation for the audit 2. Staff wanted more information on ICAO and its requirements. Feedback was for more information on ICAO role, terminology and a simplified version of the audit process 3. Need for state to adopt more proactive role in managing interviews 1. Ensure assignment of Interviewers to appropriate expertise in the organization 2. Promote requirement for advance preparation of questions 31 RDIMS/SGDDI
Lessons Learned Contin’d Lessons Learned (continued) 4. State response to “areas of concern” required specific focus – Too much material prevented clear understanding of the state position 5. Communication plan was essential – Resulted in team building and knowledgeable inputs – Daily debrief supported clear understanding by all participants – Prevented development of inappropriate “areas of concern” 32 RDIMS/SGDDI
Pitfalls in Advance of an Audit 1. 2. Not using all the resources available to understand prepare for an audit. - ICAO web, ICAO team leader, State auditing expertise Allowing communication barriers - Ensure staff have clear roles that are understood in the program - Test the process for understanding and effectiveness 33 RDIMS/SGDDI
Pitfalls in Advance of an Audit Contin’d 3. Unprepared interviewees • Provide training on process and expected attitude – Interviewees to understand the limit of their responsibility to answer questions – Don’t assume interviewees have knowledge of the process • Prepare in advance, formal responses to the protocol questions and be prepared with supporting reference documentation • Address apparent regulatory or organizational protocol issues with the time remaining before the actual audit 34 RDIMS/SGDDI
Potential Pitfalls During an Audit 1. Misunderstandings – ICAO understanding of state organization impacts their protocol management and accuracy of concerns – State members must understand the limits of their interview responsibilities – Purpose of industry visits 35 RDIMS/SGDDI
Potential Pitfalls During an Audit Contin’d 2. Giving too much information. 2. 3. Not using the “Daily Debrief” system, 2. 4. Know when to stop and how to focus the material to the key point that will be understood the feedback pulse for the audit Accepting General Findings based on limited interviews 36 RDIMS/SGDDI
Summary 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Strong coordinator essential Send coordinator on ICAO training Select knowledgeable Branch coordinators Short and direct answers to questions Establish good communications with ICAO team leader 6. Prepare interviewees including industry 37 RDIMS/SGDDI
Summary (continued) 7. Insist on daily debriefs 8. Escort auditors everywhere 9. Plan to have staff available at all times during the audit including weekends and late at night 10. Work with Auditors to ensure “Areas of Concern” accurately reflect program 38 RDIMS/SGDDI
