Internal Audit Procedure

This procedure provides guidance as to how your organisation will schedule and undertake internal audit at each level of the organisation.  It provides the process for monitoring the implementation of the management system and verifying compliance to its obligations and commitments through the use of internal audits.

The purpose of this procedure is to:

• Develop an internal audit schedule that addresses the principal risks within your organisation
• Undertake audits to identify areas of good procedural implementation, non-compliance and opportunities for improvement
• Monitor areas of business risk to ensure required controls are implemented and meeting expectations to reduce risk
• Ensure all operations and facilities are systematically audited and assessed for compliance and good practice
• Ensure suppliers are compliant with contractual and supply requirements
• Support external audits to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the program
