In the assessment process, you use triangulation to validate information by:
Gathering three copies of all the documents that support your findings
Asking the same question in three different ways, to make sure you have a valid answer
Comparing three or more different sources of information
Validating your findings with the information provided in the Supplier Self-Assessment Form
Getting three workers to provide you the same answer in a group interview
If you are not able to provide 3 sources for your evidence, you cannot cite a finding
Triangulation does not mean getting THREE sources of information, it means making sure your evidence is corroborated by OTHER sources of information. In some assessment protocols, 3 data points/audit evidence are required to be able to cite a finding. However, there are cases when one audit evidence already comes from a critical source of information, and an assessor just needs to corroborate this from another source.
For example, management already confirmed the absence of a policy or procedures. The second data point/audit evidence can be a confirmation from documents review that the policy or procedure is not in place.
