ISO 9001 internal audits that follow the process, not the manual.

ISO 9001 requires internal audits at planned intervals under a programme that considers the importance of the processes, changes and previous audit results. A programme can spread coverage across the three-year certification cycle. Many certified organisations audit annually because their certification body visits annually; we will recommend what fits your risk.

Instead of checking clause 7, then clause 8, the auditor follows a process - for example from receiving an order to invoicing - and tests every requirement that applies along the way. It shows how departments hand work to each other, which is where most quality problems sit.

Yes. Shared processes such as document control, competence, management review and corrective action are audited once, and each standard's specific requirements are sampled separately.

Yes - that is a common reason to bring us in. Your quality manager can audit other departments, and we audit quality management itself, so no one audits their own work.
