internal audit

ISO 19011:2026 officially arrived on May 27, 2026, interestingly, on Children’s Day in Nigeria. Yet, for auditors and management system professionals, this is certainly no child’s play.

Internal audit is not about going to look for problems. It is about going to confirm what is working. It determines whether the QMS conforms to the organisation’s own requirements and the ISO standard, and whether it is effectively implemented and maintained.
