You are conducting an external audit with ISO $9001$:$2015$ as audit criteria. The next item is a meeting with top management to audit the quality policy, quality objectives and management commitment.

Outline in a checklist how you will perform this audit by developing a series of ten audit checkpoints that together cover these three areas. For each checkpoint, identify examples of the audit evidence you would want to gather and give the appropriate ISO $9001$:$2015$ reference.

Note: $1$ mark will be awarded per audit checkpoint, with $0\mathrm{.}5$ mark for the supporting evidence and $0\mathrm{.}5$ mark for the appropriate ISO $9001$:$2015$ reference.
