Are you having problems with Internal Audit?

 

As you will be aware, internal auditing is a mandatory requirement of ISO 14001. Whilst it is common practice to use an internal staff team to undertake ISO 14001 audits, the pressures of delivering a full internal audit programme with staff who have day to day operational roles can lead to delays in your audit programme and competency issues with report findings and standards.  This is where The Internal Audit Service can help.

Our mission is to transform the quality, effectiveness and value of internal audits in UK business

 

By contracting out all or part of your internal audits to The Internal Audit Service you can support and enhance your existing management system programme by utilising independent external consultants who will:

  • Support your existing audit staff with IEMA registered auditors
  • Provide free ongoing training and support for your staff to enable them to support the audit with regular spot checks
  • Deliver up to date operational awareness of legislative developments and current environmental trends
