Why attend

On completion of this course you will be able to put into practice recognised auditing skills to strengthen internal audit programmes and ensure that audits are conducted to the necessary depth to give confidence in your systems. Examples from the food and drink industry will illustrate the learning points.

Course content

• Purposes and benefits of internal audits
• Audit planning and preparation
• Preparation of check lists
• Interview techniques
• Auditing skills
• Quality meetings, audit reporting
• Corrective actions
• Audit records
• Practical auditing activities using short group exercises

"Internal audits are an important requirement of recognised quality standards (e.g. BRC, CLAS, ISO 9000, ISO 22000, and UKAS) and compare practice with requirements - the "voice of the system". An effective, well-planned internal audit programme using trained auditors will give confidence in the true status of your systems and permit areas of weakness to be identified so the necessary improvements can be made. This course will enable delegates to become familiar with the principles of auditing techniques and to create an internal audit programme which will help improve the standard of their operation, and meet the requirements of recognised quality standards."
