Audit Committee (AUDCOM) Baseline Operating Procedures

If you have questions, or would like to provide feedback about any of the baseline documents, please email the AudCom Administrator at [email protected].

Baseline Procedures – Standards Committee

The IEEE SA Standards Board has approved the baseline policies and procedures (P&P) listed below for Standards Committees [Revised – December 2020]. Use of this document as the baseline for drafting P&P is mandatory. Please review the instructional text that accompanies the baseline document before beginning the drafting process.

Baseline Procedures - Working Groups (WG)

Standards Committees are expected to ensure that their Working Groups (WG) have Policies and Procedures (P&P) and that the WG P&P conform to the IEEE SA Standards Board approved baseline document. When a Standards Committee P&P is initially accepted by the IEEE SA Standards Board, and when that Standards Committee P&P is revised, reviewed and accepted every five years, a review of that Standards Committee’s WG P&P will follow. AudCom also reserves the right for random WG P&P review.

Use of these documents [Revised – December 2020] as the baseline for drafting P&P is mandatory. Please review the instructional text that accompanies each baseline document before beginning the drafting process.

For Individual Working Groups

The Simplified Working Group – Individual P&P Baseline is a version of the Working Group Baseline P&P – Individual, but with all options already pre-selected. Using this option enables a newly established WG to immediately adopt the simplified WG P&P and submit it to the Standards Committee for approval consideration. The document may then continue to be used as the WG’s P&Ps, or the WG can use the document on a temporary basis until it develops updated P&Ps based on the AudCom WG P&P Baseline – Individual.
