How To Get The Most Benefit From Your Internal Audits

Robert Zimman, CQA.

• Does your organization perform internal audits of your quality management system?
• Do you feel that you're getting less benefit from internal audits than you should for the resources invested?
• If you answered yes, then this presentation may be just what you're looking for. Internal audits should serve a different purpose and should be conducted differently than external audits. To make your internal audits more meaningful you need a different paradigm from external audits. Yet almost all internal auditor training is based on the way external auditors are trained. This presentation will present a different way to conduct internal audits that has the capability to significantly enhance the return on your investment in internal audits.
