Download or read book Musings on Internal Quality Audits written by Duke Okes and published by Quality Press. This book was released on 2017-05-24 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over 20 years, Duke Okes has spoken and published articles on internal auditing, and trained an estimated 2,000 internal quality auditors. This insightful book is intended for those who understand the basics and are looking for ideas for how to improve what their organization gets out of the internal quality audit process. It is broken into three parts. Section 1 is a summary of the basic quality audit and intentionally does not include things such as training of auditors, basic auditor competencies, and so on. However, it does look at some of the more recent changes in the audit process driven by changes in standards, technology, and globalism. Section 2 includes several concepts and methods that organizations can choose to use if they want to make their quality audits more robust from a standpoint of achieving the intended purpose. Section 3 then intentionally pushes back from the standard perspective of auditing as a technical process for control and looks at softer issues that an audit program might leverage. It also tries to project a bit into the future as to how the audit role/process might change. Appendices include example audit situations to spur discussion, a SIPOC form for audit planning, and examples of quality risk management audit questions.

This book is intended to help managers, quality professionals, internal audit coordinators, and internal auditors implement a practical internal audit process that meets the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 while adding significant, measurable value to the organization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deliver increased value by embedding quality into internal audit activities Internal Audit Quality: Developing a Quality Assurance and Improvement Program is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to better practice internal auditing. Written by a global expert in audit quality, this guide is the first to provide complete coverage of the elements that comprise an effective internal audit quality assurance and improvement program. Readers will find practical solutions for monitoring and measuring internal audit performance drawn from The IIA's International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing, and complemented by advice and case studies from leading audit practitioners from five different continents. Major corporate and financial collapses over the past decade have challenged the value of internal audit. With an increased focus on internal audit's role in good governance, management is increasingly demanding that internal audit provides assurance of the quality of its own activities. The IIA standards provide a framework for audit quality in the form of mandatory guidance . Recent research indicates that the majority of internal audit functions do not fully comply with the standards and, as a result, are not servicing the needs of their organizations as well as they might. Internal Audit Quality offers a roadmap to internal audit quality, providing readers the guidance they need to: Embed quality into all elements of internal audit from strategic and operational planning down to day-to-day tasks Create well-defined internal audit programs and procedures Independently self-assess internal audit quality and performance Conform with the IIA standards and better practice Provide assurance over internal audit efficiency and effectiveness Deliver value by meeting stakeholder expectations As a key component of good governance, internal audit is on the rise. The days of retrospective, compliance-focused auditing is a thing of the past. Organizations expect more of internal audit, and many internal audit activities are accepting the challenge. Rather than relying on audit supervision and external assessments, modern auditors are embedding quality into audit activities to create effective programs. For the auditor looking to distinguish themselves as leading edge, Internal Audit Quality provides the guidance that enables the right work, at the right time, in the right way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book addresses every aspect of ISO 9000 Quality Systems Auditing. Any organization preparing for ISO certification will need to carry out Internal Audits to confirm that its Quality System has been implemented and is effective in achieving the organization's objectives. Such auditing also provides opportunities for everyone to make changes to the Quality System so that it can become more efficient." "Dr Green addresses 'evaluation' of suppliers through second party audits, but he also shows how these can be kept to an absolute minimum by the introduction of a systematic method for getting on to an Approved List." "The mystique surrounding third party audits is removed by detailed explanations of pre-audits, pre-assessments and assessments. The attributes of good auditors and important facets of good auditing are discussed. Inexperienced and experienced auditors could also benefit from studying the set of 'core questions' prepared for their use."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Effective Internal Auditing written by Manuel E Peña-Rodríguez and published by Business Excellence Consulting. This book was released on 2021-09-26 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) regulations worldwide, as well as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidances, require that companies have in place an internal quality audit program. For example, the FDA regulation for medical devices establishes that each manufacturer shall establish procedures for quality audits and conduct such audits to assure that the quality system complies with the established quality system requirements, and to determine the effectiveness of the quality system[1]. Also, the ICH Q10 guidance establishes that management should have a formal process for reviewing the pharmaceutical quality system on a periodic basis, which include self-assessment processes, including audits, and external assessments, such as regulatory inspections and findings, and customer audits[2]. Auditing is a powerful management tool in establishing how effectively a company controls the quality of its products and ensures compliance. The ISO 19011 is an international standard that sets forth guidelines for management systems auditing[3]. This book presents many auditing tools and techniques needed when conducting effective internal and external audits. An audit can be conducted against a range of audit criteria, separately or in combination, including: Requirements defined in one or more management system standards. Policies and requirements specified by relevant interested parties. Statutory and regulatory requirements. One or more management system processes defined by the organization or other parties. Management system plan(s) relating to the provision of specific outputs of a management system. This book provides guidance for all sizes and types of organizations and audits of varying scopes and scales, including those conducted by large audit teams, typically of larger organizations, and those by single auditors, whether in large or small organizations. The material presented here should be adapted as appropriate to the scope, complexity, and scale of the audit program. The book concentrates on internal audits conducted by personnel of the audited organization (first party) and audits conducted by organizations on their external providers and other external interested parties (second party). This document can also be useful for external audits conducted for purposes other than third-party management system certification. The material presented through this book is intended to apply to a broad range of potential users, including auditors, organizations implementing management systems and organizations needing to conduct management system audits for contractual or regulatory reasons. Users can, however, apply the material presented when developing their own audit-related requirements. It can also be used for the purpose of self-declaration and can be useful to organizations involved in auditor training or personnel certification. The book is organized in eight chapters and various appendices, which provide extra materials to be used by any person during the audit process.
