Template Guide

How to Use the Configuration Audit Report Template

When to Use This Template

Deploy this template before releasing aerospace configuration items to verify conformance with approved baselines.

  • Pre-delivery audits for aircraft subsystems or defense hardware
  • AS9100 or MIL-STD-973 functional and physical configuration audits
  • Post-modification reviews after engineering change orders are incorporated

What This Template Covers

This template documents baseline verification, discrepancy identification, and release authorization for configuration-controlled items.

  • Audit scope, baseline documents, serial effectivity, and team roster
  • Evidence summary from hardware inspection, test records, and software media
  • Findings, open actions with owners, conformance statement, and release recommendation

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Common failures include incomplete traceability, vague findings, and missing closure criteria for open actions.

  • Referencing outdated baseline documents without revision numbers or effectivity dates
  • Listing discrepancies without severity classification or corrective action owners
  • Omitting release impact analysis for deferred nonconformances or open items
