Common Audit Failure Reasons
© Stroma Certification 2015 | Version 1.0 © Stroma Certification 2016 | Version 1.0 | Page 4
Part of our 3 day Ecobuild 2016 CPD Programme
By far the most common reason for audit failure. Simply NOT submitting the audit or all of the minimum evidence. Will result in the assessor being suspended until they submit the audit or they tell the audit team why they cant submit. Repeated failure for non-submission can result in the assessor being ‘Struck Off’. This is absolutely avoidable and is only down to bad practice.
Why do audits fail – Non-submission

Part of our 3 day Ecobuild 2016 CPD Programme
An audit can fail for several technical reasons:
! The EPC EER is deemed to be more than +/- 5 SAP ! This is culminated score (i.e. the absolute sum of all errors)
! There is a variance in the recommendations, or inappropriate recommendations.
! There is a material difference in the EPC. This can be any statement on the EPC: ! Address ! Property description ! Star ratings etc.

Preventing audit failure

Key Point – Evidence
Evidence should be collected and stored: ! Site notes ! Floor plans ! Photographs ! Documentary Evidence ! Supports the findings of the EPC ! Supports the DEA at audit ! Supports the DEA if a complaint is received ! Useful for historical reference
! When returning to the property ! Or similar property on the same site

! All evidence must be kept for 15 years ! All evidence must be retrievable during this time:
! Do you have a system to store and retrieve the information quickly ! Is all evidence relevant to each survey? Is it organised? ! Mixed up evidence will result in audit failure
! All evidence must be backed up:
! To allow retrieval in the event of fire, theft or flood
! Lost evidence is a common reason for audit failure: ! Not an acceptable reason ! Evidence wasn’t suitably backed up
Key points – Evidence Storage

Backing up evidence is Key
Stroma supply Tracker Mobile tools to achieve this goal: ! Quick and simple solution via iPad data and evidence collection ! Saved locally to your iPad device ! Saved in the OSA15 cloud back up system with Stroma ! Saved and backed up for 15 years ! All evidence is easily accessible via Desktop Tracker and Tracker
Mobile software ! Fast and easy audit process. ! Higher pass success rate

General tips for passing audit 1. Submit all audit information on time – ideally ahead of time so
we can resolve any issues 2. Ensure all minimum evidence is supplied 3. Ensure evidence is of sufficient quality and relevance to allow
an auditor to complete the audit and come to the same decision as you
4. Read the DEA technical bulletins when they are released 5. Use www.stromamembers.net to your advantage 6. Download the documents to your PC and/or tablet for
reference on site

Conventions
What are the Conventions? They are a set of rules that, if followed correctly, will result in a standardised approach for completing assessments. Should result in a repeatable process and outcome. Why do they change? ! In order to improve the repeatability of the EPC ! When refinement is requested/required ! Where further clarification is required ! Where it is noted that a convention needs to be created

Conventions
What is in the new conventions? The major changes will be relating to known u-value use, shared PV systems, dwelling separations, unknown thicknesses of insulation, and rules around entering foam insulation. We can only publish the conventions once DCLG have approved them and written to Schemes. This is to ensure that DEAs start using conventions at an agreed point in time.

Conventions
What is in the new conventions? As soon as Stroma has the approved convention document and the letter from DCLG, we will release:
! The document and letter ! A technical bulletin covering the changes ! CPD sessions and online CPD to help members use the conventions
It is important that members read these and complete the CPD.
You will be more likely to pass audit if you are ready for new conventions.
Stroma CPD is free to all members.
