How do I conduct a compliance audit?

To conduct a compliance audit, start by defining the scope and objectives. What specific regulations or standards are you auditing against?

I'm auditing against ISO 9001 standards.

Great! Next, gather relevant documentation and records. Then, create a checklist based on ISO 9001 requirements to guide your audit.

What should I do during the audit?

During the audit, review processes, interview staff, and observe operations. Document any non-conformities and areas for improvement.

How do I report the findings?

Compile your findings into a report, highlighting compliance levels, non-conformities, and recommendations. Present it to management for review.
