Organisations aiming for an effective Management System, whether that being related to quality, environment, health & safety or a combination of the 3, need to perform Internal Audits.  

 

They are used to find weak links in the system as well opportunities for improvements and feed it back to senior management.  

 

Risk management is usually high on a board’s agenda and internal audit is playing an important role in protecting the business against those risks and driving continual improvement

A lot of organisations decide on outsourcing internal audits and take advantage of the benefits it brings. Some of the scenarios where organisations could consider outsourcing internal audit are listed below: - The current internal audit program never detects any non-conformities (NCs) or opportunities for improvement (OFIs) - There are no qualified or experienced resources available within the company to plan and conduct effective and value adding internal audits - If a company wants an impartial person reviewing their systems - When it is more cost effective to get the know-how through outsourced internal audit than bringing a new employee on board

There are many advantages of outsourcing internal audits to an external partner such as Pontnewydd Consulting. Some of the benefits gained from outsourcing are: - Access to specialist staff - Avoiding cost of employing and training internal staff - Maintaining impartiality during the audits - A variable cost rather than a fixed cost
