What is an ISO Internal Audit?

An ISO internal audit is a systematic and independent examination of your organization’s management system to determine whether it conforms to the requirements of the relevant ISO standard (e.g., ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001). It’s a crucial part of the ISO certification process and an ongoing requirement for maintaining your certification.

Why are ISO Internal Audits Important in Ghana?

1. Identify Gaps and Non-Conformances: Internal audits help you identify any gaps or non-conformances in your management system, allowing you to take corrective action before the external audit.
2. Ensure Compliance: Regular internal audits demonstrate your commitment to meeting ISO standards and maintaining compliance.
3. Drive Continuous Improvement: Internal audits provide valuable insights into your business processes, enabling you to identify areas for improvement and optimize your operations.
4. Prepare for Certification: Internal audits are a critical step in preparing for the external audit conducted by the certification body.
5. Enhance Employee Awareness: Internal audits raise employee awareness of ISO standards and their importance, promoting a culture of quality and compliance.
