Our Team is Available to Travel to Perform Your Internal Audit

An internal audit is an independent investigation performed by or for the organization, into the documentation and monitoring actions to determine if the program being audited is functioning as intended. It is a master verification action required by GFSI certification schemes such as SQF, BRCGS, FSSC 22000, PrimusGFS, and for Quality Management Certification schemes such as ISO 9001.

Kellerman Consulting will travel to your facility, complete your internal audit, write up with non-conformance findings, and follow-up on the findings to help you meet internal audit requirements and pass your upcoming audit.

Our Services

We create custom projects for every business we serve.

Perform Your Internal Audit

Our food safety & quality management consultants will review your documentation, visit your facility, and identify gaps in your existing program and facility operations.

Write Your Internal Audit Report

We will provide you with a detailed written internal audit report, with non-conformance findings and the agreed upon corrective actions so that you can show documented evidence during your upcoming certification audit of an internal audit completed by a team independent to your operation.

Internal Audit Debrief

We will discuss internal audit findings with your team and we will provide you with our expert advice on strategies for addressing any identified concerns in order to be ready to pass your upcoming audit.

Follow Up with Corrective Actions

After the internal audit event, we schedule meetings based on corrective action timelines to make sure that any corrective action items are properly closed out as a part of the audit. This may take several weeks depending on the findings and timelines to fix those findings.

Watch the Free Internal Audit Video Series

The purpose of Kellerman Consulting’s internal audit video series is to define and explain how to set up an internal audit system, as well as the basics of performing an internal audit.

Since internal auditing can be performed by any type of organization, this series will be useful for anyone interested in the concepts of internal auditing within a quality or food safety management system.
As part of this series we are going to 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.

Mike’s Hot Honey Expands After Getting SQF Certified

“We knew if we wanted to get where we wanted to go with our business and securing some of those big customers, that we needed to have SQF certification. When I first started talking to Kellerman Consulting, I knew they were experts. If you are a small business or a big business, we want to be absolutely best-in-class. You want to hire someone like these guys to make sure that you are living up to those high standards”.

FSQA Manager is Trained in Four Months to Pass Their First BRCGS Audit

Kellerman Consulting does an amazing job of consistently meeting customers’ expectations and taking time to understand the needs of their unique customer. Their service goes above and beyond expectations. I had come to Shelby Foods just 4 months before the initial BRCGS audit and had very little idea what was required for BRCGS. Brian worked with me and patiently answered all my questions until I understood everything.

We have an A rating with BRCGS and I attribute that to Brian Kellerman and Kellerman Consulting for everything they have done to help our business to get the certification. Their initial assessment of our company, the documents, and information provided to make our
plan were great. During the audit it gave me confidence knowing we had everything in line with BRCGS requirements.

Tammy Neyer, FSQM Shelby Cold Storage /Shelby Foods LLC.

Clarendon Flavors’ New SQF Practitioner is Trained in Three Months for SQF Success

“Kellerman Consulting made a world of difference in both the time and quality of implementation of our SQF program at Clarendon Flavors. Honestly, we would have had a very tough time doing it without their expertise. When I took over the position of SQF Practitioner at our company with no prior experience, I had only 3 months to prepare for our first SQF Audit. Tim and Brian rallied around me and made sure I was ready to meet the challenge head on. From writing and reviewing documents, to educating a complete novice, to performing a mock audit in advance, the Kellerman team made sure we were ready not only to pass, but to score a 91 on our first audit. I could not recommend them more highly”!

Benjamin A. Jones, Manager, QA and Regulatory Affairs
