The Future of Internal Audits

The past year has presented significant challenges for businesses, highlighting the need for adaptability, responsiveness, and technological integration to thrive in the post-pandemic world. Internal audits have evolved to address these challenges, helping organizations identify potential issues, retain valuable ISO certifications, and navigate the complexities of the pandemic.

The Challenges of Auditing During the Pandemic

Remote work has required internal auditors and their teams to rethink their approaches and develop new, flexible processes. The ongoing impact of COVID-19 continues to affect organizations in various ways, necessitating changes in auditing practices to accommodate these shifts.

Conducting physical internal audits can be challenging due to health and safety concerns and social distancing requirements. However, postponing these critical activities is not advisable, as effective management systems are essential for maintaining compliance and achieving organizational goals. Internal audits are crucial, especially now, to ensure management systems function effectively.

Remote Internal Audits

Professional internal auditors can provide options for conducting audits remotely, ensuring the continued effectiveness of your Quality Management System (QMS). Even with many employees working remotely, audits can be adapted to maintain the efficiency and effectiveness of your QMS.

At Kloud Circle, our internal auditing procedure remains as familiar as possible, with necessary adjustments to ensure a successful auditing process. Remote audits may be more fragmented, conducted over a longer period with scheduled web conferences for convenience.

Key remote communication methods include:

  • Web Meetings or Video Chats: Useful for discussing matters with the management team, substituting in-person conference room meetings.
  • Phone Calls or Conference Calls: Ideal for one-on-one discussions or small group meetings, useful for reviewing reports and analyzing data.
  • Emails: Crucial for sending important information and maintaining an accurate evidence record.

By leveraging these communication methods, internal audits can still evaluate management reviews, audit records, and performance data effectively.
