Annual Internal System Audits

Carrying out an internal audit is a vital part of maintaining compliance and continual improvement within your organisation. Yet many businesses find it challenging to audit their own processes objectively. At JR Consultants, we provide professional internal audit services designed to give you an unbiased, expert view of your management systems, helping you stay compliant, identify risks, and drive performance improvements. Once a business has an established management system in place, it is essential to undertake regular internal auditing in order to benefit from ongoing improvements in efficiency, effectiveness and control.

What is an Internal Audit?

An internal audit is intended to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of an organisations Management System the businesses overall performance. These internal audits verify compliance with the ISO standards and how the processes are implemented and maintained and are a key building block to an effective Management System.

Management system audits should be:

  • Planned and scheduled at regular intervals
  • Completed by an impartial auditor – a requirement of every ISO standard

Failure to complete internal audits can result in:

  • Internal issues from failing to verify procedures
  • Unwanted external non-conformances

The vital information gathered from these internal audits allows organisations to continually improve their business, processes and operations as well as maintaining an audit ready status in the event of an external regulatory inspection.

A well developed, effective audit program can provide key information that will identify problematic areas and help businesses to be proactive and resolve the problems before they lead to compliance issues. Having this internal awareness allows organisations to be aware of any potential areas of weakness which means they are able to quickly and effectively put in place corrective and preventative measures to ensure the issue is resolved and that it won’t happen again in future.

Thorough and organised measures help to demonstrate to the regulatory inspector that the company is in control and working to continuously improve its operations in line with the ISO standards.

Why Internal Auditing Matters

Whether you hold ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 or another standard, regular ISO internal audits are required to verify that your management systems are working effectively. They ensure you are meeting the requirements of the standard while also helping your organisation to:

  • Identify gaps or non-conformities before external auditors visit.
  • Improve processes and efficiency, saving time and resources.
  • Demonstrate your ongoing commitment to compliance and continual improvement.
  • Build confidence ahead of surveillance or certification audits.

However, auditing your own organisation is rarely straightforward. Employees often lack the time to dedicate to the process, or they may be too close to the systems to take a truly impartial view. That’s where independent support can make all the difference.
