What are the ISO standards for internal audit?

An ISO Audit is the systematic collection and evaluation of information about an organization’s procedures to assess its degree of conformity with the standard being audited. Audits are conducted to evaluate the efficacy of measures in place and to establish whether or not the organization is working at full capacity following the standards for certification and further growth.

Internal audits are conducted independently by a business using internal people or an ISO Consultant with experience and understanding of your firm and industry. It evaluates the efficacy and efficiency of particular sections or the entire company. External Audits are performed to examine an organization’s compliance with a certain standard and to suggest certification, which is carried out by a third party often associated with the certifying body.

How will auditing improve the organizational management system?

The objective of an ISO internal audit is to evaluate an organization’s effectiveness in one or more ISO Standards, as assessed by the degree of its risk management systems and general business practices. Companies and organizations undertake internal audits to assess and enhance the efficacy of their business procedures by revealing any current defects or deficiencies and ensuring measures are in place to remedy them.

In addition to being a requirement of the standard, performing regular and effective internal audits of your management system is also required for a reason. Internal audits are an opportunity for your firm to assess its progress and for your staff to demonstrate their abilities and raise any concerns.
