Introduction to FSMS Internal Audit Workshop

An effective internal audit system is a fundamental requirement of any management system. This workshop covers the requirements of food safety management systems as well as the principles of internal auditing – just what you need to conduct audits that add value to your organisation.  This is an entry-level workshop, designed for staff who may not yet be ready for the full internal auditor workshop.

Practical examples, case studies and other activities develop confidence and a positive attitude when performing internal audits.

• Explaining internal auditing in terms of ISO 19011:2018 in simple terms
• Course material is developed to simulate the audit process with practical examples and activities.

Delegates must have a basic understanding of the concepts of food safety management including prerequisite programmes and HACCP principles.  Some experience in the food industry would be an advantage but is not an essential entry requirement.
