The purpose of the meeting is to:

 present the preliminary results of the assessment
 ensure that the results of the assessment are clearly understood
 provide an opportunity for clarification
 conclude the assessment

The meeting is part of the “Check” phase and it helps the assessors to prepare an
objective and factual report. It gives the assessors and assessees an opportunity to
clarify doubts and to seek a better understanding of the QA processes and how the
AUN-QA criteria are being fulfilled. It helps to identify and agree on the areas for
improvement and provides the motivational force for the university to improve its QA
system. The 2-way communication in the “Check” phase would make the university
more receptive to the findings and help to build a closer and enduring relationship
between the assessors and the university.
