We want to take advantage of economies of scale whenever possible. As more companies become more process oriented (less departmental), need to meet multiple sets of requirements (like ISO 9001 AND 14001 AND federal regulations) and develop single management systems, combined internal auditing becomes obvious.

Audit is a developed competency. Learning to perform effective process and system audits is far more difficult than learning the requirements of a system standard. This class teaches auditors to audit processes and systems, regardless of the standard used, and to facilitate effective corrective action.

Combined internal auditing can reduce the cost of internal auditing by several factors.

Who should attend?

  • Internal auditors
  • Managers of the internal auditing process
  • Quality, environmental and health and safety managers
  • Compliance officers
  • Top management wanting to understand the benefits and pitfalls of internal audit

What you will learn:

  • Quality management principles
  • Process and system auditing using the process approach
  • Planning and preparation
  • Interpretation of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 (and other requirements as agreed with the students)
  • Performing the audit
  • Reporting the audit
  • Corrective action and follow-up
