ISO Audit Consultants

What is an internal audit?

An ISO internal audit (IA) evaluates an organisation’s internal controls to determine their level of compliance with the external standard(s) against which they are being audited. It assesses efficiencies – measured by the level of quality and risk management systems – and business practices against one or more ISO Standards.

In essence, an ISO internal audit is a review of operational and interdepartmental efficacy within an organisation.

Are the correct measures in place to mitigate against risks, threats, weaknesses?
Are systems operating in a manner consistent with the requirements of the standard?
Are there clear lines of communication for personnel, partners, and customers?

Internal audit - Why?

Many of our clients need to measure efficiency against performance. Others simply want an internal audit in support of their ISO Certification.
