As an introduction to this video series, we examine what an internal audit is, what organizations should perform internal audits, how to properly and effectively perform an internal audit, and how to use the results of those internal audits to evaluate and improve the safety or quality management system.

In the second episode of the internal audit video series, we review the most important aspects of internal auditing, all of which occur prior to performing the internal audit. Planning and preparation must occur prior to any internal audit in order to have a successful outcome.

During this episode we discuss how to perform the internal audit and best approaches during the audit to help achieve a successful outcome. A successful outcome of an internal audit does not mean that the organization passes the audit, but rather that the audit accurately reflects the state of the organization at the time of the audit.

During this episode we discuss how to properly address non-conformances or opportunities for improvements discovered over the course of an internal audit. Corrective actions and preventive actions as a result of internal audits are a special circumstance and require a special review.

When we look at the role software plays in auditing in the fifth episode of Kellerman Consulting’s internal audit video series, we are going to be focusing on the audit method, since this is where software provides the biggest benefit, as well as the biggest challenges.

In the final episode of this video series, we focus on the Quality Management System and GFSI requirements for internal auditing. ISO and GFSI programs operate on many similar programs and these schemes have a requirement to internal audit the program as part of yearly activities.
