Yes, audit team assignments can be adjusted during the audit to ensure the audit remains effective and objective.
ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 Clause 9.2.4.1 states:“The audit team leader shall reassign tasks as necessary during the audit to ensure audit objectives are achieved.”
The ISO 19011:2018 Clause 6.4.9 similarly permits dynamic reassignment of roles based on real-time findings or logistical needs.The auditee’s permission is not required unless changes impact the audit scope or confidentiality agreements.
