Any ISO-certified business must undertake internal audits throughout the year to ensure they stay in conformance with the requirements of the ISO standard.<\/p>\n<p>Internal auditing is an independent consulting activity designed to improve a company&#8217;s operations. It involves evaluating an organisation&#8217;s risk management, control, and governance processes by following the ISO standard&#8217;s requirements.<\/p>\n<h2>What is the purpose of internal auditing?<\/h2>\n<p>The primary purposes of internal auditing include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Assessing operational processes and management<\/li>\n<li>Ensuring compliance with laws and regulations<\/li>\n<li>Identifying and managing risks<\/li>\n<li>Identifying areas of improvement<\/li>\n<li>Ensuring company objectives are being met<\/li>\n<li>Monitoring financial reporting<\/li>\n<li>Assuring and providing confidence to stakeholders<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Internal auditing is vital to any organisation because it can help businesses make informed decisions and take corrective action where necessary. It can build trust amongst stakeholders by demonstrating that a company is committed to ethical and responsible business practices.<\/p>\n<h2>What is internal auditor training?<\/h2>\n<p>Internal auditor training is designed to provide individuals with the skills and knowledge required to conduct effective internal audits. The training covers various internal auditing topics, such as its principles, techniques, best practices, relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards.<\/p>\n<p>The training can be tailored to specific ISO standards, such as <span style=\"color: #ef7d00;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imsm.com\/south-africa\/iso-9001\/\">ISO 9001<\/a><\/span> quality management, <span style=\"color: #ef7d00;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imsm.com\/south-africa\/iso-45001\/\">ISO 45001<\/a><\/span> occupational health and safety, and many others. It can be delivered through classroom instruction, online courses, or on-the-job training.<\/p>\n<h2>Who can become an internal auditor?<\/h2>\n<p>Internal auditor training is perfect for people who wish to acquire expertise in conducting internal audits that adhere to ISO standards. This includes personnel in charge of maintaining management systems, those responsible for internal audits, and personnel preparing for their annual surveillance ISO audit.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone responsible for people and processes within an organisation can become an internal auditor. Internal auditing is usually conducted by a dedicated team of professionals who report to the organisation&#8217;s senior management or board of directors. The internal audit function operates independently of other departments within a business to ensure the audit process remains objective and unbiased.<\/p>\n<h2>How do I become an internal auditor?<\/h2>\n<p>IMSM provides CPD-certified internal auditor training courses consisting of interactive presentations, workshops, and role-play exercises.
