Internal Auditing Basics Program Overview

Program Description

Audits assess the effectiveness of the Quality Management System and ensure that customer requirements are met. There are regulatory reasons to conduct internal audits. However, the internal audit is a method to uncover gaps between requirements and practice that can be used to identify opportunities for improvement. Audits follow a logical and systematic process that is taught in this program. The planning, performance, follow-up, and documentation are all explained in easy-to-follow steps.
