Internal Audits Tip

The first time I implemented ISO 9000 I got caught (deficiency) on not being able to prove that our Internal Audit Team had audited all elements of the standard. I could show checklists to the standard, corrective actions written and area audit schedules but I could not easily prove that our team had audited all the requirements. My corrective action for this deficiency was a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet that identified which sections of the standard applied to each area of the company. This spreadsheet eventually migrated in to an audit schedule. I now use this spreadsheet in all of the companies that I consult with.

Feel free to view or download this spreadsheet. It is in Excel Office 97 format.
