The course explains the key principles for training of internal auditors and GMP inspectors, so that you can build a competent team.

We are often asked if we know of a better way of conducting internal audits, as businesses feel that their system doesn’t seem to be working or adding any value. Which is a huge, wasted opportunity.

If a business looks after its internal audit programme and gives it the status that it deserves, it will literally look after everything else. An effective internal audit programme will reduce wastage, complaints and improve external audit scores – by finding non-conformances and fixing them before they cause a problem.

This course will teach you how to build an internal audit programme that covers the requirements of your certification and customer standards and provides a risk assessment method which you can use to monitor its performance. Couple this, with a well-managed schedule and auditors and inspectors who are properly trained, and your system will identify non-conformances before external auditors do.

Having an effective internal audit programme will improve external audits and reduce the number of complains your team must deal with. Reducing stress, workload – allowing you and your team to get on with the day job and focus on improvement.
