FAQ
Questions QA leads ask.
Is the checklist the auditor’s form?
Yes. It is the 132 items of the auditor’s form, in their numbering, against the June 2025 Rules and Standards that have applied since 1 January 2026.
Which items does PaddockPath answer on its own?
Fifty, from the records you already keep in it, such as treatments, dispatches and the morning round. Sixty-two are dated records you file once or when they come due, each with its file.
What does the auditor get?
The audit pack, a PDF in the auditor’s numbering with each item’s standing and what was sighted, and the evidence folder: the pack first, then a folder for each item that holds a file.
How do I know what’s coming up?
The checklist says it when you open it. An item turns Due ninety days before its date, and Before cluster when it would lapse before your audit window closes.
What about what the auditor sees on the day?
That stays the auditor’s. Sixteen items are observations on the site, and the pack lists them as observed on the day.
