Short Note - Nonconformities in Internal Audits

Short Note

Nonconformities in Internal Audits

********** 










The primary purpose of an internal audit is to determine whether the management system (MS) conforms to the planned arrangements; whether the MS conforms to the requirements of applicable standards (such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, etc.); whether it conforms to the organization's own established management system requirements; and whether it is effectively implemented and maintained.


Therefore, identifying nonconformities is a crucial part of assessing the actual health and effectiveness of the management system implemented in the organization.


Audit results should help management take appropriate and effective actions for improvement. Therefore, a nonconformity should not simply remain an entry in the audit report. It should become the basis for correction, corrective action and, ultimately, improvement of the management system.
