A new international auditor standard has been issued, ISO 19011:2011 which provides guidance on auditing management systems, including the principles of auditing, managing an audit programme and conducting management system audits, as well as guidance on the evaluation of competence of individuals involved in the audit process, including the person managing the audit programme, auditors and audit teams.

Interface continues to comply with the most up to date and relevant standards. We only employ IRCA certified auditors who are fully competent and able to conduct ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 audits. We have a complex method of identifying and assessing our auditors to ensure they remain current and aware of auditing principles and technical advances in their relevant technical fields.

In conjunction with the client, we assess the key requirements of the organisation to ensure we match a fully competent auditor who knows about the product or service that the company provides and the relevant processes that are part of that business. Therefore when the Interface Auditor arrives, they should be fully familiar with the business and its activities to ensure a smooth and seamless assessment.

This new updated standard is also applicable to Internal Auditors, all Internal Auditors should also be familiar with the principles within this standard, if you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us on info@interface.co.uk
