Abstract	The intent of this document is to provide guidance to assist auditors in implementing the Technical Systems Audit (TSA) requirements and to provide guidance and tools to aid in conducting TSAs of ambient air monitoring programs. While this document is geared primarily for federal auditors conducting TSAs of air monitoring programs required by CFR, the principles and tools provided in the document could be a framework for an auditor performing a TSA of any ambient air monitoring network. This document is intended to present “best practices” that, if implemented and followed, would result in an accurate and complete assessment of a monitoring organization’s ambient air monitoring program. This document makes use of internet links that provide the user with access to more detailed information on a particular subject.
