Outsourced ISO Internal Auditing, Audits

Outsourced ISO Internal Audits, Auditing, Audit
Does your organization struggle keeping required ISO internal audits on schedule and productive?

Typical internal challenges include:

  • Your internal auditors lack time and/or experience to make audits value added.
  • Auditor training over and over again and auditor turnover.
  • Auditors are not independent enough from the process to audit objectively.
  • Auditors are not up to speed on the requirements of multiple Standards.
  • Auditors do not know how to do a process audit.
  • Auditors do not understand “core tools” as required by the automotive and aerospace industries.
  • Your audit plans do not focus on customer requirements and satisfaction.
  • Your audit results are not viewed as a tool for improvement.
  • Your audit review and corrective action plan is ineffective.
  • Your registrar has issued Corrective Action Request(s) and/or you are struggling with re-certification.
IQC can put your internal audit program back on track.
