Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Internal Auditing?
Internal Auditing is a structured review process used to assess whether an organisation’s systems, processes, controls and practices are operating effectively and aligned with relevant standards, obligations and internal requirements. Internal audits help organisations identify gaps, manage risks and support continual improvement.
Why Are Internal Audits Important?
Internal audits provide organisations with independent insight into how effectively their systems and processes are working. They help identify compliance gaps, operational risks, improvement opportunities and areas where controls may not be consistently applied, helping leaders make informed decisions and strengthen organisational performance.
What Standards Can Internal Audits Be Conducted Against?
Internal audits can be conducted against a range of ISO standards and organisational requirements, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, ISO 45001 and ISO 55001. Audits may also assess internal policies, governance frameworks, contractual obligations, regulatory requirements and operational procedures.
How Often Should Internal Audits Be Conducted?
The frequency of internal audits depends on the organisation’s operational risks, compliance obligations, certification requirements and business priorities. Many organisations conduct audits annually or as part of an ongoing audit program, while higher-risk areas may require more frequent reviews.
Can Integris Group Services Support ISO Certification Audits?
Yes. Integris Group Services supports organisations preparing for initial certification audits, surveillance audits and recertification audits. We can assist with gap analysis, action planning, management reviews, evidence preparation and internal audit activities to help organisations prepare confidently for external certification assessments.
What Is The Difference Between An Internal Audit And An External Audit?
An internal audit is conducted to help an organisation assess and improve its own systems, controls and processes. An external audit is typically conducted by an independent certification body, regulator or third party to formally assess compliance against a recognised standard or requirement.
How Does Internal Auditing Support Continual Improvement?
Internal auditing helps organisations identify trends, recurring issues and opportunities to improve systems and processes over time. Audit findings can support corrective actions, preventative actions, operational improvements and stronger decision-making across the organisation.
What Makes Integris Group Services Different?
Integris Group Services provides practical, partner-led internal auditing support tailored to your organisation’s operational environment, systems and objectives. We focus on delivering audits that are constructive, evidence-based and improvement-focused, helping organisations strengthen capability, reduce risk and build confidence in their systems and operations.
