/ Technical and procedural audit (ISO etc.)
Dutch term or phrase: feitenrapport
"Feitenrapport n.a.v. managementsysteemaudit". I have the feeling that this is more than a mere "report of the facts", because it deals with some kind of discrepancy or shortcoming. It also has a heading "Geconstateerd feit". "Offence" or "misdemeanour" sound too harsh IMO. Does anyone have previous experience of this?

English translation:detailed report of errors encountered and their consequences
Explanation:
Ok-here they say shortcomings (defaults?)/deviations, but could it be a detailed report about any errors discovered during/by the audit

Van belangrijke tekortkomingen/afwijkingen (met relevant effect op levertijd, prijs of kwaliteit) wordt een feitenrapport opgesteld, onderscheiden naar opmerkingen over de werkwijze (taak proceseigenaar) en naar de implementatie (taak afdelingshoofd).
In het auditverslag worden niet alle vragen en antwoorden opgenomen. Wel kunnen naar aanleiding van de audit verbetervoorstellen worden opgesteld.

here the word is used in a totally different context but still with the idea that it is a detailed report about problems.
Aan de hand van het uitgebrachte feitenrapport dienen wij als gemeenteraad te kunnen bepalen of, en zo ja, in hoeverre er sprake is geweest van ongewenste belangenverstrengeling met betrekking tot de aanschaf van gronden door de heer Rasing op Hengelder, in relatie tot zijn functie als wethouder.

observations


Explanation:
An audit is accompanied by a report of observations. "gekonstateerd feit" I would translate as "observed shortcoming", since the audit will largely report on the shortcomings that they find.
