Good morning,

Typically, I keep electronic folders for each active audit, along with an Audit Log. Within each folder, I have a set of subfolders; RFI's, Responses to RFI's, and Correspondence (depending upon necessity of the audit effort). Additionally, I maintain a Catalog of all materials provided and a noted file path on each document for traceability. 

The folders/templates are readily available to all interested parties and easy to duplicate. This method seems to work for the purposes necessary to our audit efforts. Simple, but effective.

For audits such as ISO13485 and MDSAP, I have a checklist of required documents, a checklist of required records and a list of recommended implementation evidence for each clause.  It is a helpful starting tool before diving deeper into the potential findings.
