Internal Audit Policy

The internal audit. "What a headache" - that is surely what every employee think to himself when they receives the massage of an internal audit that was approaching. There is a reason why. They know that someone comes to shove their actions ... The chapter on internal audit is included in chapter 8.2 - Monitoring and Measurement. It is therefore clear that the objective of Internal Audit is to conduct monitoring and measurement within the organization. Internal audits, sometimes called the first part, are conducted by or on behalf of the organization itself for internal purposes and can form the basis of self-organization of a declaration of conformity. The organization is necessary to conduct audits in a timely manner to ensure that the system of quality management:

• Maintained in accordance with the requirements of ISO 9001 Standard




• Maintained in accordance with the requirements of the organization and audit criteria

What are the criteria for an audit? Set of policies, procedures or requirements used as a reference.

We believe that in the end of the day of the internal audit is in fact an internal inspection on the organization conducts itself. In the organizational structure, it is difficult to manage up to what happens to the organization. It is not enough to retire in movie production, logistics centers or service centers and consult employees or products on the shelves. It is necessary for the sampling process and to examine whether they hold against pre defined criteria. Only the high-resolution sampling can provide the status of the organization Real. What are the criteria? The requirements of ISO 9001, work procedures, quality plans, quality objectives - the characteristics of the system of quality management.

Since the subject of internal audit is very serious and wide, we would not be included in a single article. In this article we will focus with the requirements of ISO 9001 to maintain the system of internal audit against ISO 19011 - an online guide to the standard audit quality or environmental systems. The standard was published in 2002 and beyond describing guideline for the audits, it also refer to the auditor's expertise and activities. Unfortunately, the standard ISO 9001 defines the standard requirements, but it does guide us how to conduct an effective audit - which would apply not only to the requirements, but also help the organization. We examine that in another article (we can not give you all the secrets in an article. Sorry. Company policy).

ISO 9001 Internal Audit audit procedure interanl

ISO 9001 requires is that you maintain a documented procedure describing how to conduct an internal audit process. This is not a recommendation but an obligation. The documented procedure must define:

• Who should conduct the audit - which is responsible for the implementation of the internal audit process.




• Who should conduct the audit - which is responsible for the implementation of the internal audit process.




• Describing the process itself - who meets with whom and where everyone is and what should bring with them.




• The monitoring plan after the internal audit (Do not worry, we'll go into details soon). When evidence of the audit are documented.

It can be added to schedule audit plan and all sorts of forms and documentation regarding the process.

The auditor

The auditor must be related objectively to the OU, it is auditing. It is.
