What are internal audits?
Internal audits are systematic evaluations conducted by trained professionals within your organisation to assess the effectiveness of your management systems.
These audits provide insights into how well your company is performing against its goals, regulatory requirements, and the criteria set by standards such as ISO 45001 (Health & Safety), ISO 14001 (Environmental), ISO 9001 (Quality), and others.
Unlike external audits, internal audits are performed by your own team or external consultants familiar with your business operations. They offer greater flexibility, are conducted more frequently, and allow for quicker adjustments to improve performance.
Our internal audit approach
We plan the audit with you, carry it out on-site or remotely, report on findings, then support corrective actions and improvements.
This gives you a clear view of compliance, risks, and opportunities for better performance.
