BYPASSED CHARGE ASSESSMENT

an action done by an auditor using an E-Meter, in which the auditor reads a list of questions (issued in an HCO Bulletin) to the preclear so as to locate and handle bypassed charge. Various lists have been issued which cover the types of charge that can be missed in different auditing activities, and the list appropriate to the auditing the preclear has been receiving would be used. In doing this action, the auditor cleans each read (reaction of the needle on the E-Meter) on a question before going on to the next question (as different from an ARC break assessment, where reads are not handled, but only indicated to the preclear). See also ARC break assessment, bypassed charge and clean in this glossary. There is a thing called an ARC break assessment and there's a bypassed charge assessment and hardly one of you monkeys have ever been able to tell the two apart or do either one of them.
