Internal audit programme

Every standard asks for internal audits at planned intervals that together cover the whole management system. Under Registers, choose Internal audits. It is there for every standard.

The programme

At the top you see three years of audits. Per year it shows the audits and how many clauses they cover. Below it, Peilaro counts the clauses of your standards that no audit in those years covers; choose Show the clauses to see them. Use Earlier years and Later years to move the three years.

Planning an audit

Choose Plan audit. Give it a title, the standard it audits (or all standards together for your integrated system), the date and the auditor. Choose the clauses it covers; without chosen clauses it covers every clause of its standard, or of all your standards. Change the status as the audit goes on. A cancelled audit does not count in the programme.

The checklist

Choose Checklist on an audit. Per clause you see what it asks, in our own words, and how your organisation says it complies. Record the result: conforms, observation, minor or major nonconformity, or not checked, with a note, and choose Save. For a nonconformity or an observation, choose Raise finding: Peilaro adds a nonconformity (for an observation an improvement) under Findings, linked to the clause and to the audit.
