Internal Audit
An internal audit that genuinely tests the system, rather than confirming that documents exist.
Audit programme design
A risk-based programme covering every clause and every site.
Competent auditors
Auditors who are independent of the area being audited, as the standard requires.
Corrective action that closes
Root cause analysis, not a sentence saying the issue has been noted.
Management review
Inputs, outputs and a record that satisfies the auditor.
Frequently asked
Can we outsource internal audit?
Yes, provided the auditors are impartial and competent, and you retain responsibility for the programme.
How long does an internal audit take?
One to three days of fieldwork for a single-site organisation, depending on scope.
Consultancy fee refund commitment
If your organisation is not recommended for certification at the first certification audit, we refund our consultancy fee in full.
Conditions: the agreed corrective actions are completed, the required records and evidence are provided, and the audit is conducted by an accredited certification body within three months of our readiness sign-off. The commitment covers our consultancy fee only, not the certification body's fees.
