Internal Auditing is a crucial element of your Quality Management system (QMS). Consistent and effective internal audits assure continual effectiveness, compliance, and improvement of your QMS. However, many companies that tackle this responsibility alone must overcome the following obstacles:

• Difficulty in developing and maintaining the skills for part-time Internal Auditors,
• Lack of experience, independence, and objectivity of Internal Auditors, and
• Internal resource constraints.

Internal Auditors are Management’s eyes and ears for monitoring the effectiveness and efficiency of the QMS. Expert Internal Auditors are more likely to be the first to discover a system that has broken down, needs attention, or is improving. While known problem areas might be deliberately avoided during a regulatory, accreditation, customer, or certification audits, Internal Auditors are required to focus both on problem areas and on areas demonstrating improvement. The training and skills needed to do this well are vital. Trained and experienced Internal Auditors are a crucial part of the QMS.

Internal Auditing

To begin, Reva Phoenix’s expert prepares and provides an Internal Audit Plan well in advance of each Internal Audit. The Internal Audit Plan details the schedule of activities for each Internal Audit. This assures that your staff has ample notice and time to prepare. The Internal Audit Plan also assures that disruption to your staff’s daily activities is minimized.

To conduct each Internal, Audit Reva Phoenix uses a customized checklist and Reva Phoenix’s exclusive Process Auditing Guide. The checklist assures a consistent assessment of compliance with standard requirements.

The Process Auditing Guide assures continual focus on business processes. Any deviations (non-conformances), observations, and recommendations are detailed in a formal Internal Audit Report.
