Synopsis
Previously published as Current Safety Systems and Why They Are Dangerous by Jeff Hicks.
A clean audit can confirm that every required element exists. It cannot tell you whether those elements will hold when the operation is under pressure.
What the Audit Misses examines the gap between compliance evidence and operational capability. Drawing on decades of frontline aviation experience and more than one hundred safety evaluations, Jeff Hicks shows how polished documentation, certifications, and strong audit scores can conceal weak barriers, poor judgment, and shrinking operational margin.
This second edition explains:
- Why passing an audit does not prove that risk is being managed
- How Work as Imagined, Work as Managed, and Work as Done diverge
- Why barriers must be tested under the conditions in which they must perform
- How equivalent methods can satisfy a safety intent more effectively than a prescribed method
- How expert oversight produces decision-grade evidence for leaders, regulators, and customers
- How legacy safety programs can be redirected toward operational risk instead of administrative activity
The book does not reject standards, regulation, Safety Management Systems, or certification. It restores their purpose. Compliance establishes the baseline. Expert evaluation determines whether the organization can actually protect the mission.
Written for safety leaders, auditors, regulators, procurement officials, and operators in aviation and other high-consequence industries, this is a practical argument for oversight that sees beyond the binder and reaches the work.
