First Secret Audit - Advice, Please

December 23, 2014 06:40PM
Good Afternoon all!

So I have my first secret audit coming up, and it is for the Marine Corps Exchange. Has anyone done one of these before who would be willing to give me some advice? It is secret, but exceedingly lengthy... So I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for making sure I hit everything without referring to the paperwork for reference. I've thought of DLing the form so I can reference it on my phone in the bathroom. Beyond that, I'm not sure how im going to remember everything!

I also have the Shop It! App, so maybe I can put a few notes in there to jog my memory from reading over the form seven hundred times in an effort to memorize it. Anyone have anything else they'd like to throw my way?

Thanks all. smiling smiley

I haven't done that audit, so my thoughts are more generic.

Yes, take information with you to reference in some private way. That can range from bring the entire instructions/questionnaire inside (if permitted), to creating a personal list - perhaps in some personal shorthand that only you can understand. This list could include all the items or just the 'hard-to-remember-for-you' items on it. It could be on an electronic document on your cellphone (think email to yourself, memo, work document, etc.). You could look at it in the bathroom or some other private enough place.

Think about it and come up with what works best for you for this shop.

Good luck.

Happily shopping Rhode Island and nearby Massachusetts and Connecticut

I don't know anything about that particular one either but if I have lengthy shops I am doing for the first time (like gas stations), I will download the guidelines document to my smartphone. I will also do this for audits that are not secret but the guidelines are long so I don't want to waste ink printing the entire document.

Shopping across Indiana but mostly around Indianapolis.
