Availability: InStock

Internal audit is where a management system either proves itself or quietly stops being true. This course covers what an internal audit is and is not, the principles that make an audit trustworthy, how an audit program is planned and run, the audit itself from initiation through to follow up and the 2018 guidance on virtual audits in Annex A. It is written to AS/NZS ISO 19011:2019, which adopts ISO 19011:2018. ISO published a fourth edition, ISO 19011:2026, in May 2026; this course is written to the AS/NZS adoption of the 2018 edition and says where the 2026 edition differs. Written for people asked to audit, to be audited or to run the program.
