Which of the following is NOT a guide’s responsibility?

Per ISO 19011:2018, Clause 6.4.2, guides are provided by the auditee to assist the audit team. Their role includes arranging interviews, ensuring access to documentation and locations, and clarifying organizational processes. However, they are not involved in drafting audit findings, conclusions, or decisions.

Drafting and communicating audit conclusions is the sole responsibility of the audit team leader and the audit team — not the guide.
