Every certified management system needs internal audits that are planned, independent and carried out by competent auditors. Many organisations do not have enough trained auditors, or their auditors cannot be independent of the areas they audit.
ITA can run your internal audit programme, or part of it, with qualified lead auditors who know your sector. We can also work alongside your own auditors so they gain experience while the programme stays on track.
When you need it
- You lack trained or independent internal auditors.
- Your internal audits find little and do not add value.
- You run an integrated management system and need auditors competent in several standards.
- You need an independent audit of a high-risk area or site.
What we do
- Risk-based internal audit programme for the year.
- Audit plans and checklists for each audit.
- Process audits on site or remotely, with evidence-based findings.
- Audit reports, nonconformity records and follow-up of corrective actions.
- Summary of audit results for management review.

Frequently asked questions
Can you audit part of the programme only?
Yes. You can outsource specific processes, sites or standards and keep the rest in-house.
Is an outsourced internal audit acceptable to certification bodies?
Yes, provided the auditors are competent and independent and the programme is planned and controlled by your organisation.
Can you train our auditors at the same time?
Yes. Your auditors can join our audits as trainees, and we offer internal auditor and Lead Auditor courses.
