What steps need to be taken when an audit candidate decides not to proceed with the audit?
If a candidate chooses not to complete the audit, it is considered a failed audit due to non-conformance. In the case of a failed audit, the examination fee, minus the processing fee will be refunded. A candidate may reapply after one year. At that time, a new credential application and payment must be submitted, and the application will be subject to a re-audit.
