The Basics of Internal Auditing
What is an internal audit?
An internal audit is an evaluation of an organization’s quality management system to ensure that it is being implemented effectively and that it meets the organization’s objectives. Internal audits are a valuable tool for identifying areas for improvement and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations.
What does an internal auditor do?
During an internal audit, the auditor will conduct interviews, review documents, and prepare an audit report. An audit plan must be prepared before the audit begins. This internal audit training will teach you the techniques you need to conduct internal audits on your own. You can use these techniques within your organization, but also for external supplier evaluations. The training is given by experienced consultants who have carried out internal audits in numerous companies. This means you will learn from experts how to conduct an internal audit.
