ISO 9000 Audit briefing and conduct the readiness audit. 1 - 2Days
Course Introduction:
This program is aimed to give the internal audit team as a refresher on the ISO requirements, of defined documentation, controls and risks assessment associated with the company product or service processes. This audit program outlines the schedule, scope, and resources needed to verify that an organization’s management system complies with standards, focusing on risk-based planning, objective evidence collection, and continual improvement. It includes defining objectives, scheduling, auditor selection, conducting audits, reporting, and follow-up actions. After the initial briefing, the internal audit team together with the instructor shall carry out a readiness audit with the checklist accordingly. The findings will be summarised and any correction or corrective action will be highlighted to be completed before the scheduled official audit.
Training Objectives.
Core Components of an ISO Audit Program shall be covered along these lines as
indicated:
1. Audit Objectives: Define the goal, such as ensuring compliance (ISO
9001/14001), evaluating effectiveness, or identifying improvement
opportunities.
2. Scope & Frequency: Determine which departments/processes are audited,
the geographic locations, and how often (e.g., higher-risk processes audited
more frequently).
3. Methodology: Utilize interviews, document reviews, observation of
processes, and record checks to gather evidence.
4. Roles & Responsibilities: Appoint qualified, objective auditors (internal or
external) and define the audit manager.
Expected outcome:
• Risk-Based Focus: Prioritize areas with higher risk or previous
nonconformities.
• Process Approach: Use the organization’s process maps to guide the audit,
rather than just clause-by-clause checking.
• Continual Improvement: Regularly review the audit program's effectiveness
to improve future audits.
• Ensure Readiness: To be well prepared for the official audit.
