Internal Auditing

We can carry out your Internal Audits for any of our advertised Standards providing we did NOT issue your Certification.  We can either develop our own audit programme or adopt the audit programme you already have in place.  We will evaluate your quality management system processes and develop an Internal Audit Checklist prior to carrying out your internal audit and liaise with your contact to define the programme of audits for the day.

Having your internal audits carried out by an external body can be beneficial in order to obtain a truly independent point of view as to whether your quality management system is effective and can reduce external re-audit costs by identifying non-conformance and helping to develop corrective action before your Certification Body does.

CQS will provide you with detailed audit reports that define the objectives evidence we have observed during our visit along with an opinion as to whether the process is operating correctly or if there are any opportunities for improvement. Our auditors can use the expertise they have obtained through years of carrying out management system certification and surveillance audits to help improve your processes and meet the requirements of your management system standard.
