          C/Sing 2-WAY COMM


The C/S is liable to make most of his C/S errors in C/Sing 2-Way 
Comm.

The reasons for this are

1. Two-way comm IS auditing.

2. The errors that can be made in any auditing can be made in
   2-way comm.

3. Untrained or poorly-trained auditors do not always respect
   2-way comm as auditing.

4. Errors in 2-way comm become masked since the procedure is 
   loose.

5. Earlier C/Ses on the case may have missed the easily missed
   2-way comm errors.


      RULES OF C/Sing 2-WAY COMM

A. The C/S must recognize that 2-way comm is auditing. Therefore, 
it follows all the rules of auditing.

B. Any error that occurs in other auditing can occur in 2-way 
comm auditing. Errors in a 2-way comm session must be carefully 
looked for as they easily can be masked in the worksheet.

C. Auditors must be persuaded by the C/S to make notation of 
auditing essentials in 2-way comm as of senior importance to pc's 
text (which is also made note of in the worksheet).

D. The questions asked in 2-way comm can be very incorrect just 
as rote processes can be.

E. An auditor must be trained as a 2-way comm auditor (Class II). 
Otherwise, he will evaluate, Q-and-A and commit other faults.

F. If an ARC break occurs early in a 2-way comm session and is 
not handled as such, the rest of the session is audited over an 
ARC break and can put a pc into a sad effect.

G. A pc with a PT problem not being handled in the 2-way comm 
will get no gain.

H. A pc with a W/H in a 2-way comm session will become critical, 
nattery and/or get a dirty needle.

I. Two-way comm processes must be flattened to F/N. If an F/N 
doesn't occur, then the subject didn't read in the first place or 
the auditor Q-and-Aed or evaluated or changed the subject or the 
TRs were out or the pc's ruds were out.

J. A 2-way comm subject chosen must be tested for read in that 
session before being used for 2-way comm.

K. Improper 2-way comm questions can plunge the pc into an out-
rud situation not then handled. "Is anything upsetting you?" or 
any mention of upsets by the auditor is the same as asking for an 
ARC break. "Has anything been troubling -- worrying you lately?" 
is the same as asking for a PTP. "Who aren't you talking to?" is 
asking for W/Hs.

L. The subject of major processes should be kept out of 2-way 
comm C/Ses, auditors' questions and 2-way comm assessment lists 
(ARC breaks, problems, overts, changes or any major auditing 
subject, as they are too heavy, being the buttons of the bank).

M. The C/S should only let Class II or above auditors do 2-way 
comm sessions.

N. A rud going out in a 2-way comm session must be put in by the 
auditor.

O. A 2-way comm session should end in an F/N.

P. Auditors whose 2-way comm sessions do not end in F/N must be 
taught to check the subject for read before using, not to Q-and-
A, not to evaluate, and given a refresher on 2-way comm tapes and 
HCOBs.

Q. In a 2-way comm session that flubs, the C/S must be careful to 
isolate the errors just as in any other auditing session that 
flubs and put them right.

R. A 2-way comm subject that reads on test and doesn't F/N on 2-
way comm must be checked for O/R (if TA went up) and rehabbed by 
the 1965 rehab method, or prepchecked or just continued.

                 --------

The whole point to all of this is that a 2-way comm session IS 
auditing. It is delivered by the auditor, C/Sed and remedied like 
any other session.

Also it is usually being run on a delicate pc who is more 
affected by errors than pcs being given other processes.
